Oh yes my friend according to the user manual there is an option to play random in the current folder and also to play that way in all files.

Nope, it doesn't even shuffle. Its "touch screen" is really a screen that only responds to a little stylus that comes with the player and that doesn't work well either. this thing is pretty crappy. i wouldn't waste the money. for about the same money, i picked up a Sandisk MP3 player that is much better. it's only a little bigger than an ipod nano, it fits on the armband that i used with my nano and it has lasted a lot longer. plus, it has an sd slot to add memory. the eclipse is junk. stay away from it.

Yes, it does. The "Shuffle" feature is easily activated in the menu settings.

Don't use that option much but..I believe you need to find the category marked "settings" and there should be a sub-category marked "shuffle"-HTH.

Not that I am aware. It doesn't even have a repeat button for replaying a song. These little cubes are not very functional nor do they have very good battery capacity at all. You should pay a little more and get something like one of the tecsun mini radios that play micro Sd cards. They don't have shuffle either but they have repeat and way better electronics and battery life.

Is there anyone who can answer alpinecow's question? Also, I heard that the Sandisk Sansa will not play chapters in proper order. Is this still the case?

It has a random button that plays tracks from all loaded discs in a random order. It stops when all tracks have been played once. I believe that is the same as shuffle.

i have a older mp3 and it has a shuffle option and that's great but it plays the songs in the same shuffle order every time. sounds funny I have 900 songs in mine but have listened to it for so long I can almost tell u what song is coming on next!

The RANDOM mode would be convenient for many of us, but it repeats certain songs many times before the entire list is played. The NORMAL mode also repeats some songs unpredictably. My unit has given good service for over a year and does what it should except for the above.

It does have a repeat button at the bottom of the song playing but I do not see a shuffle button Hope this helps

Yes, there is a random button. I have some 267 songs on an SD card and just press the random button.

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse

The one I have does have both shuffle and repeat in the settings. However, when I set mine to Shuffle off or Repeat off, it will shuffle and repeat anyway. It's very annoying. To get to the settings, pause the playback, then prsee the little button located at the top right edge of the device. This will allow you to toggle between the radio, music, settings, etc.
