Default 6 CD Changer

Is the 6 CD Changer capable of random tracks across different CDs?

I don't think anyone has seen the 6 CD changer yet. I've had one ordered for a month now.

Page 3-88 of the owner's manual says you can. Use the "RDM" (random) button. Press and release the button to start random play on one CD. Press and hold the button for more than 2 seconds for random play of all the CDs that have been loaded.

I think all 1SB owners without Nav have the 6-CD player.

It does, but there's too much lag time going from disc to disc.
Random on MP3 discs doesn't seem all that random. With over 200 songs per disc, I keep hearing the same stuff too often to believe it randomizes all the files.

Yes, the random number generator is horrible. Given all the bugs/deficiencies I've found in the audio control unit software, and found in a very short amount of time, I wonder if anybody spent more than 10 minutes testing the thing.

Dang, I had the same problem with a 14 y/o Kenwood home CD changer. It spit out a bell shaped curve for track frequency, so some songs got played 3-4 times as often as others.
