Random playlist, part II

Hmm. My playlist.py script was fun to write, and interesting as a novelty, but needs work. My collection is so Frank Zappa heavy for instance that in the first half hour of music this morning about 20 minutes were Zappa. Maybe I need a system of weighting somehow. But how?

Also, perhaps I should handle entire albums rather than songs. It's clear that most of the listening I've done since CDs come out has been albums in their entirety. Furthermore, if I gradually add audiobooks, then it makes less sense to split things up randomly by audio file.
