"Did you check which of the random algorithms it was using? It should be using
"shuffle". Check the gconf key:
/apps/rhythmbox/state/play_order
it should be shuffle. If it is "random", then it will play randomly without
replacement (i.e. it might play the track more than once) which would account
for the behaviour you are seeing.
Unfortunately exactly what random algorithm used is not currently exposed in
the UI (bug #163196) but I think it should use "shuffle" by default.
