i'm burninig a CD by creating a playlist on iTunes. however, i want to randomize the songs on the playlist so it is in no particular order. how can you do this?

my iTunes library is already in artist order, and if i click "Name" it becomes name order. i'm concerned about this because i do not want an original song to play and then all the remixes to play (since i've also added remixes of the songs to the as well), nor do i want all the songs from one particular artist to play for 30 minutes straight.

or, if i cannot randomize it, how can i choose the order of the songs being burned?

You can either just drag the song in a random order. So let's say this is your playlist:

song 1
song 2
song 3
song 4

You can choose song 1, and drag it between song 3 and 4.

Or, when you have your songs ordered by name/artist, go to Controls > Shuffle > Shuffle by songs.

This should then put all the songs in a random order.
But shuffle has to be turned off first, if you have it on.

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any other problems :)
