How do you scroll through the ipod: Are you able to go from playlist to playlist or does it only play songs from A-Z, allowing you to fast forward or rewind song by song?

You just scroll through the menus on your ipod and make selections as if you were using it with headphones. There is a basic remote that will allow the usual stop, pause, play, skip back, skip forward and volume control once you have chosen what you want to play.

When your music is on push the 'menu' button twice. Not too fast. The second push should show 'Random' that is your shuffle. If that doesn't work then when you push menu and it shows folders...then scroll with the right side of the button and it should go to the second page to show 'Random and Intro' scroll to Random and hit 'menu' and it will show a "R" with an arrow at the top, then you know you are in shuffle mode. Hope you can play with it and get it figured out. it took me lots of time to figure it out, It works great for what I got it for. It can be a real pain sometimes. It can be inconsistent at times. Good Luck!

I'm trying to figure this out too. It's the only problem I'm finding with this iPod function. I hate that I can't shuffle the songs. Can anyone help?? Thanks.

I don't remember -- I returned this item because it did not pick up from where it left off on a playlist but always started from the beginning of the playlist on my iPod nano.

You can skip songs or whatever you have on your ipod/iphones/ipad. It just skips songs. I have one and it works excellent with my factory sound system

fast forward feature is not incorporated in this unit .However you can flip(switch over) to new next song.The same button is also used for increasing the volume if pressed little more time,volume level will be appear on the screen.Every time pressing the right arrow button will select a new song.

three click does not work too good.one click (play/pause music, answer/end call) works wonders.two click (next track) works great.three clicks... I get to the next track and it pauses the song. It does not rewind.

Sort of. You can create a playlist with a particular order on iTunes then put it on the iPod shuffle. You can also use the "voice over" button which tells you the song's artists, title, etc.

Chiet Chu's answer is incorrect. Hold down the volume up button to skip to the next track, hold down the volume down button to go back a track. There is no way to fast forward/rewind. No play/pause button but going forward or back a track will start playing that track if it's paused. Music automatically pauses and resumes if you get a phone call (yes, they work with calls, too ). On my iPhone the music pauses if I hold the power button for one second, and if no music is playing that will start Siri. Not sure if that's an intended feature bc it's not in the manual but that's how it works.

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!

On this particular player I hit the mode button on the top left side of the player. Mine doesn't have a playlist listing. Basically I've got mine set up where it plays my songs in alphabetical order. After it plays the last song in the alphabetized playlist. It will return to the first song alphabetically listed on my player. But you'll have to push that button until you get the results I got. Depending on how you set that mode button the player will play your mp3 files on a randomized setting. I don't like that setting cause from my experience with other players you don't have any control over what plays when. Long story short. If you push that mode button to the "proper setting" for me. You can play, fast forward or rewind until your heart is content and hear what you want when you want. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay in answering.

Sorry to hear about the not rewinding or fast forwarding. We did notice a slightly longer delay while holding down the switch to get this feature working, (compared to other types of MP3 players) but only by an extra second or two while the song is playing. I hope yours is still under warranty and SanDisk will honor their product.

The same way you do with the standard apple earbuds. Single click the play/pause button to play/pause. Double click to skip to next track. Triple click to go to go back (either to beginning of the song or if you're already at the beginning it will bring you to the previous track).

Our car has a button for aux. when there, if the IPod is attached, it lists the iPod. If we then push enter, the playlists, songs, albums, etc come up as a choice. I don't know if you have the joy stick to navigate with or not.

I have just implemented one way of doing this with the AK 240. You create a playlist which includes a single song. When you choose to play this playlist, the player will play that song and then stop. The procedure is admittedly clumsy, but effective. Moreover, if you give your playlists the name of the respective song, you'll get an ordering of your favorite songs that is more manageable than the listing of ALL songs provided by the device.

The song info can be seen in the little screen as the song plays. You can go forward and backwards (only in the first few seconds of the song) to move from song to song. I put a bunch of stuff on it and just let it play while I'm out walking. I don't find it easy to locate a particular song.

Yes. I found the shuffle works best when I put one playlist on it. You could load a single book the same way, just do not program it to shuffle. You want to get to the ending in the old fashioned way.
