Shuffle-induced headaches!

   A lot of the time, I'll go from a quiet song to a very loud one and that jarrs me. Not just loud as in fast or aggressive... I mean that the volume of the song is louder. I'll go from Tangerine Dream straight into Höyry-Kone and everyone around me just sees me shudder violently and panic, reaching madly for my iPod.

	I do this a lot, but being a tech cavegirl I only have a low-capacity mp3 player which means I can't carry my entire collection around my neck. still, anything serious and melodic (PFM being one of the best examples ever) followed by The Residents is just nonsensically jarring. even outside of prog I can randomly roll a show tune/torch song immediately followed by a twenty-two minute Merzbow skree-suite ;P

	I had my Prog Collection Zune on shuffle today, and the most random shift happened; it went from playing Genesis - "After the Ordeal" to playing Meshuggah - "Sum". The huge contrast in ferocity and volume caused my head to ache! I was just wondering if any fellow shufflers out there had similar stories about a suffle function-induced headache. If this topic is pointless, then by all means ignore it and forgive me, I have been away from civilization for awhile so my conversation skills aren't very sharp at the moment.
