Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. This proves that random sequences don't necessarily contain all finite sequences.
Not at all. The sequence is no longer random when you remove all of the 1s from it. It's akin to flipping a coin an infinite number of times, and removing all of the times heads came up leaving you with an infinite sequence of tails. That is not random.
My example proves your intuition wrong. It doesn't prove that pi fails to contain the encoding for every song. But it does prove that irrationality is not sufficient to support that claim.
Your example is flawed.
