Hmmm... I did a test: created a Nirvana artist mix. Ran it five times
(generate an other order of songs every time) and got the live version
of Smells Like Teen Spirit every time.
I do understand that a random function might be not so random when it
can only choose between 2 values, but 5 out of 5...
Could it be that you need to initialize rand with some random seed (like
CPU time) before you can use it (think it's like that in Java, but don't
know what program language you used for you plugin)?
