Default Out of a Library of 7445...

...What are the odds of having a song play randomly twice with another song in the middle of it? I was listening, here comes a song from my Church. Then another song, then the same song from my Church. Then the next song was Pink Floyd Obscured by Clouds. Then another song then Pink Floyd Obscured by Clouds again!! Whats up with that?

It's a scientific anomaly, I think it means something has changed in the system and agents are near.

You got it....h: I don't care much for WMP. There are something I like about WMP, some I like about iTunes and some I like about WinAMP.........But I use WMP since its easiest.

my disc changer will only replay a song after every other one gets played once. just like elementary.....every one get their damn turn and then wmp goes and jacks it all up. but ya that happened to me a while ago with winamp.

the actual chances are 1 in 7445 or 1 in 4,002,397 give or take 1

but what about the chances of a song playing the same time twice in a row or even thrice, or even 4 TIMES!!!!!!?????

Yes, my suspicions were correct. You are dumb. It must be because you're from Missouri.

I blow my nose at you, you son of a silly person! I don't care what the actual odds were, it was a figure of speech....Somehow.....
