Abstract
A method for random track playback is presented. A table base value is used to adjust entries in a pseudo-random table stored in read-only memory. A search start offset is used to select a starting point in the adjusted pseudo-random table. Entries before the starting point are effectively wrapped to the end of the pseudo-random table. A playable track, located in the adjusted, wrapped pseudo-random table, is then selected and played.
