Late last year I drove to a relative's funeral. The journey should have taken no more than 1h 45m both ways but there was a horrendous traffic jam on the way back which kept me stationary on the M25/A12 slip road. Apart from listening to Radio 4 while in the hold up, I had my iPod plugged into the stereo and set to shuffle for the whole journey. Below is a list of artists it decided to play. The first number relates to how many times it played that particular artist on one shuffle; the second number relates to how many tracks by that artist I have on my iPod. This selection was picked from 2836 songs by 367 artists.
