Behavior of Shuffle with usb music

[kyeakel]

Since the last recall, which was the one about icons not showing up on the gauge cluster. The fix for this seems to have been to reset the dash every time you start the vehicle. This was a hastily thought out fix as it has the side effect of reseeding the random number generator that is used to shuffle the music on a USB stick. So, I get the same song group played every time I start the truck. I'm guessing they seeded the random number with something fixed, and didn't use the GPS clock or something that would give a new starting random number. Disappointing software development...
Anyone else notice this?

I get this on my truck about every 8 starts it is very frustrating. the restart of the songs that is.

so I keep a list of all songs on the thumb drive and make a mark when I shut off truck, then I know where to go when it resets.

Mine does that, too. The same song first but then a different shuffle order.
I finally gave up and quit using the shuffle "function."
