iTunes 'Party Shuffle' gripe

I don't know how many other people have this problem, but I thought this was supposed to be random. I have over 3000 songs in my library, but the Party Shuffle always grabs the same 50-100 songs, I find myself going through and deleting songs (Usually 10-15 at a time) from the list, and when it refreshes, at least 2 of the sgons I deleted show up again!
What is up with this, I am better off just putting it on Random in the lIbrary!

Yeah I found it not so random too. I have close to 2,000 songs and to frequently see a repeat in a random list of 50 songs is not right.

I probably don't neet to mention this, but just in case...

Have you made sure the selected Party Shuffle source is your whole library, and not a playlist? And that "Play higher rated songs more often" is unchecked?

It is on the library and I dont use the ratings, too many songs to rate, and since it's just me listinging, I don't need any stars to tell me what I like hehe.

I dislike the party shuffle thing.

I prefer having a smart playlist set up along the lines of:

Limit To [40] Songs selected by [Least Recently Played]
Live Updating

And then I put that playlist on random.
