[slinkelist] Shuffle vs. random

Can anyone tell me exactly what shuffle mode does (i.e.
playlist_mode[random]) vs. the "shuffle playlist" command?

Along the same lines, is there any more detailed documentation for the
various CDJ automation commands?

What I am attempting to do is to generate a query to select my "favorites"
(using LIKE) from a certain genre and then play them.  But I only want each
song to play once and then have the playlist stop when all songs have been
played.  Is there a way to do this via automation?  I am currently using the
code from the sample MAPS.TXT file but I don't really want to use random
mode.

And finally, I noticed that when CDJ was in shuffle mode, the same song got
added to the list several times.  Is this a bug?
