Can you select the songs or does it shuffle?

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.

Yes, I believe there is a shuffle option as well as an option to manually choose from folders. No, it does not work particularly well. I ended up returning the two I bought because of shoddy construction and the fact that one stopped loading two days after I received them. I ended up buying the Coby mp301-4G player and it seems much more solid for only a few bucks more.

Does it have a shuffle?? I thought I read no it didn't then someone giving advise on a shuffle feature for this product...shuffle or no shuffle. It seems to be an issue with the songs playing through??

I haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

The IPod shuffle holds 600-700 songs. It allows for all songs in random order. It also allows you to have playlists you can set up on ITunes. Thetefore, you can put any number of songs and artists on each playlist.

Hi,The card plays in two modes. . . straight through or random play. Interestingly, going back and forward again in random mode does not repeat the same songs again. It does pick up where it left off. The Android app allows you jump between folders as well. No tracks are shown. In that sense, it truly plays blind. When not in Random play it will loop around the songs in the order that they were written to the card. There is support documentation that explains this.

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.

The one I have does have both shuffle and repeat in the settings. However, when I set mine to Shuffle off or Repeat off, it will shuffle and repeat anyway. It's very annoying. To get to the settings, pause the playback, then prsee the little button located at the top right edge of the device. This will allow you to toggle between the radio, music, settings, etc.

The shuffle is only great if you want to play similar genres of music and don't need to find a particular song. It's great to use while exercising though, or on continuous play while working, etc. It does have a button to shuffle the music if you want.

Yes, it does. The "Shuffle" feature is easily activated in the menu settings.

It has a shuffle button, it is supposed to. We had bad luck with the unit, probably cause we did not know how to run it

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.

Yes, it has several options. It has intelligent shuffle (the truly random shuffle you want), it has shuffle & repeat if you want it, or shuffle by year, etc.

It will shuffle the playlist, but if you turn the player off and then back on again, it plays the "shuffled" list in the same order, and there is no way to re-shuffle the list.

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.

Did you intend to ask "How many CDs does it play?" If so, the answer is: one at a time. The system has a shuffle mode (accessible on the remote-control device) if you want to alter the sequence of the tracks on the CD.

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.
