Selection
If you have no idea what this is all about: once every month I tell the media player software on my PC to shuffle all the tracks in my MP3 library, in a purely random manner. The first twenty entries, however embarrassing, are then listed here. The list is unsorted: first comes the artist, then the album and finally the song title. (I've got the idea from Ed Bott who does a similar thing once every week.)
