played music in mp3 format randomly?

I haven't had any problems at all, had it for about 6 months and use it everyday. I would think if someone had a problem with it working only randomly that there was something wrong with it.

You have to have some knowledge of your music library. You have to listen for said artist or album by skipping forward while it is set for random, then switch it to play songs in order and find the song you are looking for. It is easier than it sounds and you can pick it up pretty quickly.

I'm Not sure How to explain how I did it.. but I changed the format of the File and then added it to my mp3 player. So I just wanted to let you know it can be done.. You may want to get someone who knows a little more about computers and converting files to come and help you guys out...

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.

If you use FLAC files, gapless play is possible. There is definitely a gap when playing back MP3s and other compressed formats.

I did not facing this problem. I have more than 100 songs (mp3), and it working well.At first, I also wonder it will function correctly, so i have tried to press next/previous button then the songs is randomly changed.So, maybe you can try to press the next/previous button to see whether it change to others song.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

Try downloading a converter program. Convert your mp3s to .wav format then import.

I think it is defective. The one I have had a couple songs that play for a few minutes.

Hello, you may need to change the music mode, it supports MP3 format or MAV, thank you!

My experience was that it kept re-creating my entire library every time I tried to single out a song to go into my playlist. One of the many reasons I sent it back. Good luck if if's working for you.

Hi, I think you may hsve the same issue I had. If so you must convert your music to mp3 format. If your using iTunes you can do that I believe by selecting your song, right click, and should have an option for mp3 conversion. If not look under options on the Tab bar. Hope this helps!

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.

YES！ there is a random play. This is a Philips mp3 not a cheap one! The size is about 4.5 *4.5 cm. 6.8in is crazy.....

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.
