The comments in this bug related to the shuffle function not being random enough, but the bug as originally described was that the first song in a playlist was always chosen when starting playback. This bug was filed 3 years ago. I have tested rhythmbox on Jaunty and this bug is no longer present, so this report is being closed. As for the comments about how random the shuffle function is, please make sure you have the gconf key /apps/rhythmbox/state/play_order set to shuffle, which means all songs are equally likely to be selected. If this is the case and you still experience the issue, and it's statistically greater than what could be called a coincidence, please open a new bug report on the issue. Thanks for your help.
