How good is the shuffle/randomization? The one that just died on me would play the same order all the time.

It is okay, it will play the same artist sometimes right in a row even though I have a lot of them in there. And I know that I have songs in there that have never been played and yet I hear some songs a couple times.

I've never used the shuffle feature because I love hearing all the songs I have on it.

It play back at the beginning of the track played before it was turned off. No shuffle play. Each time the speaker turn on it volume go to maximum, has to be turn down.adjust

We just play one at a time. I have not checked to see if it would play more. Go online to check out the manual.

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.

no, once you choose one that is the one you are in, it doesn't go to the next artist or album in sequence. (And won't skip to a new artist or album even if you shuffle.) The way to include many and various is to create a playlist and then shuffle that if you'd like, so it skips around and mixes it up.

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.

Hi there. Yes, there's a shuffle control so you can play songs randomly (which is one of the things I really like about it!)

You can't randomize what's on the SD card, only the 8gb that's on the player itself. Which sucks when the SD card can hold much more, depending which size you stick in.

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

No. The reason we are dissatified is because it won't shuffle the music. My husband had one that shuffled but someone stoled it when we went on vacation. Ordered two to replace the one he lost and neither one of them shuffled. Give up....

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

It is very easy you just go to play modes and click shuffle. You can also set what artist or genre and also play everything including internal and external then shuffle it all. Can't rate this DAP highly enough.

I believe it shuffles the five cds in random order. I have never tried it so I do not know if it then shuffles the individual tracks within the cd. There is a function to shuffle the current cd tracks but not all of the cds. So, you can try it and see if it also shuffles the individual tracks too but I think that it is one or the other. I'll have to try it sometime to see for myself!

It's either plays ALL the songs in alphabetical/numerical order or just one song. There's not a random option. I have it set to play on song only ..... and when I get bored of that song ill make it play another ONE song. Hope this helps. :)

disc shuffle, but it's never worked very well... hesitates, goes on too long, etc.
