For training professionals who love their music, the release of the latest version of Apple's iPod must have come as a great joy. Now you can have your entire record collection with you wherever you go.

One of the great delights of the iPod is the ability to select "shuffle" and it will play tracks from the entire bank of loaded music in a random order.

According to afficionados, there's no thrill as cool as taking pot luck from a collection of thousands of songs and stumbling across a long-forgotten tune from your personal archive.

The Brain Bathl?! asked a recent iPod convert to press random on his iPod to reveal what sounds he grooves to.

When we managed to stop him long enough to catalogue one of his random selections, this is what he came up:

1. Metal Meltdown - Judas Priest
   
2. Steal Away (The Night) - Ozzy Osbourne
   
3. When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin
   
4. Shakermaker - Oasis
   
5. Heaven Can Wait - Karnataka
   
6. Cornflake Girl - Tori Amos
   
7. Thug - ZZ Top
   
8. Say What You Want - Texas
   
9. Deuce - Kiss
   
10. Daysleeper - REM
