Fire the payola people that make it so even if you hit shuffle, you'll only hear the same 10% of your playlist over and over again with the same artist 3 songs in a row.

They say that they can't release their randomizer algorithm to protect trade secrets. Which is exactly what a company engaging in payola would say.
