Stock Music Player Sprint Hero ... Shuffle?

Has anyone noticed that the stock music player isn't very good at shuffling music? I have my playlist set up, and want it to shuffle while I'm listening at work. It will shuffle, but the problem is that it won't play all the songs on my playlist. I have about 500 on this particular playlist, and in an 8 hour day I will hear the same song 3 or 4 times. In the 3 weeks I've been using it at work, there are some songs that I have *NVER* had come up on the shuffle. I tried turning on just shuffle and not repeat, but same thing. Is there a fix for this, or does anyone have recommendations on a music player that I can download that is better?

** Clarificaion: By "recommendation" I mean more than "Get Product X, it's cool". Why is it "cool"? What makes it better than the other products?

I use mixzing on my hero. I find the UI a lot more sexy, it auto downloads album art which is useful. And on first run you can tell it what folders to look into for music. The hero default player picks up every music file, including my podcasts which i dont want, so mixzings feature is very nice.

have you read the thread in my sig btw?
