Jul 25, 2018 at 13:20 comment added Flater @JuhaUntinen: The second shuffle undoes the first shuffle. The issue outlined here is effectively an inverted multidimensional traveling salesman problem, where you want trips between stops to take as long as possible (on average).
Jul 25, 2018 at 13:13 comment added Juha Untinen Hmm, you're right. Then it would indeed need to check some metadata too in the sorting. Maybe first randomize the shuffle order by the first character in the Artist's name, and then randomize shuffle again by the index - possibly with a different algorithm?
