14. the state we're in - the chemical brothers
15. a peak you reach - badly drawn boy

It shouldn't actually play them in that order though?

[sleepingfish]

No it doesn't, but I haven't got time to sit there and write down 15 songs as they all play, I'm a busy man you know!

[andrewparker]

Fast Forward??

[andrewparker]

...or create a playlist containing all the songs in your library and click random and it will rearrange all the songs in the order it will play them in...
