There are a couple of discussion threads in the i-pod lounge (here) and macslash (here) about this topic. I have just under 3,000 songs on my i-pod, yet often get repeats when in shuffle play, indicating that the random is far from random. I had this same problem with the 300-CD changer I used to use -- it's "randomness" was rather poor.
