Your edit on Shuffle play

I am under the impression that MP3 players are potential replacements to music radio. I mean, shuffle play alone is a simple feature that inspired my projected estimate of a loss of popularity for music radio, so I thought it would be appropriate to say that lower end models of MP3 player fail to discourage people from listening to radio due to their lack of support for randomization, or that randomization is not a factory default feature.

Anyway, I personally switched to MP3 players as the primary means to listen to random music since radio has had setbacks that warranted that kind of change.

So, what is you reason for removing that statement from the article. --Roadstaa (talk) 05:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your "projected estimate" sounds like a candidate for Original Research if there ever was one! The capability of a person's MP3 player has nothing to do with their income, merely the player they choose to buy: Someone with a "lower income" could buy an iPod Touch while someone earning $500,000 pa could buy a cheap Chinese player. Some people may use MP3 players instead of listening to radio, but that is no reason to refer to someone who uses an MP3 Player as a "Radio listener". The article is nothing to do with radio listener numbers and such random analysis in a short article is confusing to a reader.

A true hardware random number generator uses a physical process (such as nuclear decay). The idea that a music player (even an expensive one) has a true hardware random number generator is absurd when a Pseudorandom number generator can be suitable for the task.
