I'm going to ignore the other ways to handle that and just point out that that is multiple shuffles and won't be a problem if the user initiates all shuffles.

If the user has to initiate all shuffles, it won't play continuously. If you handle it another way, that demonstrates that it doesn't "just" work with a pure shuffle without using those tricks.

1. Without a clearer spec, we should not assume the user wants any repeats at all.

2. Your claim is not even true as written.

3. I'm tempted to assume the user has a reasonable amount of music, so it will last as long as necessary. And you can't force me not to assume that.
