On Media Player Random Selction Issues

 I recently started deleting some of the songs.

I do skip songs rather often thought, because of how random shuffle works.

There are songs I love to hear every day (even multiple times) and songs that are good to listen to only occasionally. Media Player then notoriously makes sure to play the latter every day while making sure some of the former are ignored. Not all the songs are picked incorrectly, but at least half of them are.

I checked on play count recently. Some are 28+ times played, others are not played at all or only played once. For example, all my Jigoku Shoijo collection that I like a lot is consistently ignored by WMP, safe of few songs. In contrast songs from Eurovision collection are played very often and player priorities songs I find only passable to my favorite Eurovision Songs. I like Lordi, Sdob Si Sdub or Moldovan songs in general, but player somehow always picks the others.

It would be good if you can manually set priority on how often random shuffle should play this or that song.

Also, it is possible to get tired of the good song if it plays too often. Other times you are just not in the mood for this particular song.
