Can this play songs in a predictable order? If it is turned off does it return to the point where it was previously playing or the beginning?

I am not sure what "a predictable order" means, but it does have the sequential play option which is a straight order from the first to last song in the list.(and to some the "shuffle" mode is also predictable, albeit much slower to repeat) As for returning to the previous song after being turned off, under normal shut downs it did return to where it left off even midsong. hope that helps

I just use the arrows to move to songs. If you want them to play in order, you move the "on" button half way. They shuffle when you put the button all the way over (you can see all of the green).

Short answer is; I don't think you can. However I'm guessing that you can have some control over order of play by rearranging the directory structure. I don't know the logic it uses to pick tracks. Interesting question. Will research & respond again if I find out more

it has a shuffle all option which works the same as a random option, when u first choose the music option from the main menu the first choice it offers is shuffle all

It will play then sequentially. I have so many tracks that I still haven't reached the last one. But, if I remember correctly you have the option to loop, shuffle, or stop at the end.

I looked at settings... it has play in order or shuffle the order about... there is a alphabetical list of all songs loaded ... you can also make a playlist... up to you

I have several of these types of units. When power is turned off, or the unit is removed from power, when it is powered back up it starts the last song played. There is limited memory.

When you are on your computer, open the file that shows your music you've downloaded, create different folders. I think you can control the order played, if you don't select shuffle

I didnt even know it had a playlist feature. After all songs have played through it resets to the first song though.

It will play a folder so if you start the first one it will play the next in sequence is that what you mean ?

I had the same issue. Seems like if you hit that button in the first 10 seconds of a song, it will skip forward to the next song and if it is after that, it will adjust volume. Not sure if that is completely correct, but I have inadvertently forwarded to the next song as well.

I read that you can stop the player and start it again from the same place, BUT NOT if you turn the unit off; then it goes back to the beginning.

You can have it either way. It will play a rotating sequence or it will stay on the one you choose

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.

As far as I know, if you pause it, it will start back at the same place. It won't hold a pause for very long, though. If you actually stop it and then restart, it starts over at the beginning. I think they all do that unless you select the specific track you want.

Depending on how the programing is formatted... on my MP3 DIY programs, the only way to resume is to "pause" the playback & leave the player on. If the power switch is turned off, the playback doesn't always start from where it was paused. What's even more annoying is that the "skip" forward or backwards does the same thing... restarts from the beginning! Your results may be different, but this is how my MP3 DIY programs work. Really not an issue, once I figured out the workaround. :)

The songs are listed and played in alphabetic order(numbers are listed and play first). The only way I've found so far; to manipulate playback is by adding numbers or letters to the "TITLE" of the song. Songs have a file name and a title name. You can also playback by Artist or Album.
