Are u able to scroll &amp; pick which song that ud like to listen to or do u have to listen to them in the order in which they were downloaded or on a shuffle?

Don't buy this device. I can't remember if you can shuffle but it didn't matter with my device. It stopped working almost immediately. I would advise you to stay away from the ematic brand as their support was awful too. I have NEVER even considered another ematic device. In fact I am disappointed when I read a product description I like only to find out that it is made by ematic.

It has "Track Programming" which means you can tell it which tracks to play. Shuffle mode allows you to randomize songs from several disks and since this is a single disc player that's not possible.

If you can download the podcast, then yes. The shuffle is old school, meaning you need a source for the music and then you put it on the shuffle.

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 think there might be a shuffle setting but it is very difficult to see the name of the songs. Whatever order you have your songs listed in a folder, is the order that they play. I found the interface difficult to navigate. I bought this for my 3yr old and decided to return it.

I use my old shuffle for listening to books. It's small and cheap so I just keep it in my bag for when I need a book. In fact I have started loading only the book onto it and then when I am done with the book I loan it to a friend, ipod and all.

I currently have them in folders, but it really does not matter. I had them just as files before, but works the same. I listen to my music in shuffle mode, and it shuffles the mp3s from different folders.

I would say "yes" if you download an album, it should show up on iTunes and then download it to your shuffle. I never tried it, but it seems it would work that way. Hope this helps.

There is no shuffle option. It plays in the same order and starts where you left off.

You can, but it still won't play them in any order that I could work out. Not numerical, not in track order. Just some random order.

I'm sorry, I just read the other responses. I thought you were referring to the capability to 'shuffle the songs.' I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It worked for my playlists. Unfortunately I have it in my classroom and wont be able to try it until Monday, August 5, 2013.

Yes it does! That was something that I was concerned about too. It doesn't matter where the songs are stored, the player sees all locations as a single library. You have the option to display artists, albums, genres or songs. Once you start playing a song from any group you can select to play all of the songs in that group randomly. So if you want to randomly play all of the songs that you have on your player randomly you go into Songs. There's a learning curve with the user interface, but after you get the hang of it you'll find it easy to use.

You can scroll through the songs, but there is no shuffle feature. What I sometimes do is create a folder with various songs I like and load it onto the player. That's as close to a shuffle as you can get with this unit.

I had the same question beforehand and never got a straight answer. As far as I can tell there is NO shuffle/random function on the unit. When playing songs off the SD card it always plays them in the same (alphabetical) order. The "Repeat" button just turns the repeat function off and on, and the "Mode" button just changes the input. There is no mention of a "shuffle" function in the instructions. The lack of a shuffle/random function is the only criticism I have though...otherwise it is a great little device.

Yes, The Colby MP3 Player has a shuffle option where the songs will play in a random order.
