How does shuffle work, I've got hundreds of albums mostly films score soundtracks but the shuffle just picks out songs from same artists? Very few of my favourites came up...perhaps that a blessing because all I listen to these days are film scores, lol

Now Weirdy, how is it you got one of my playlists Man, most of those albums I've listened to for nearly 3 decades...I like your taste, its just unexpected, I mean...how old are you again?

I hope you are watching the history of film scores program on BBC 4, some new facts I never knew, such as the Star Wars theme is not quite as original as I thought. That was a shock.

I turned seventeen in August! And I have recorded those programmes but sadly haven't had time to watch them yet. I can imagine your dismay finding out about the Star Wars soundtrack! I have to say, I listened to Gustav Holst's 'The Planets' the other day, which was completed in 1916, and it so powerfully foreshadows a huge number of film scores, including Star Wars - there's one bit at the end of the Mars composition that sounds like it was copied verbatim by John Williams. Not to say that that takes away from what Williams did - even Shakespeare plagiarised, of course
