Can the slideshow be set to random, so it doesn't play pictures in the same order every time? Is the display time variable?

No. The slideshow can be set to display random TRANSITION effects, but there is no choice for random photo display. Ill be sending mine back because of the lack of this feature.

The display time is somewhat variable, although not as large as some frames I've seen. It's something like a few seconds to a few minutes.

Conflicting answers! Several say it can be set to random - has anyone actually TRIED it? Or are they just saying the setting is there? I've had one that has a "random" setting and it doesn't shuffle the photos - they play in exactly the same order I loaded them on the flash drive. Can anyone explain the conflicting answers, or provide a link to a frame they KNOW will shuffle the order? Thank you.

I was amazed at the amount of things that this digital frame does. It has so much more than most of these frames do. I do beleive that the slideshow does have a random play option and it does have several choices as to the time limit that you want to have the picture show, as well as a variety of ways that the pictures can be seen. It is awesome and it also has a place to put a flash drive with music on it and I can listen to music all day with it , if I want to. I can choose the songs that I want to play as well. It has a very clear picture screen as well.I I love mine!

I've only used it twice that way and had no problem. It was saved as a power point slide show. I don't know about one not saved to go straight to slide show. I've used several through the computer and had no problem.

The order would be like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Random order would be like 2, 5, 3, 1, 4, etc. When the pictures flash in order, you know exactly which picture will flash next. When in random order, you will never know which picture flashes next. They will always be in a different order. I hope this helps.

Yes, this frame has a slide show feature. I set this up for my mother using an SD card. You can set up the slide show speed, shuffle photos, etc. You don't need to be connected to the internet to have your slide show if you are getting pictures from the card internally. If you wanted to connect to an online picture account (like Picasa), I presume you would need your frame connected to the wifi, but as I didn't set that up on the frame, I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was.

You can set it for 3, 5, or 10 seconds between pictures. I have a slideshow of about 100 pictures in my slideshow and they have played over repeatedly with no problems ever since I put them on the frame back in early summer of this year. This little frame works a lot better & was a whole lot easier to load than the 32" digital frame that my employer spent $700 on!

yes. However initially there is only toshiba-previewer available, which is quite slow and doesn't allow slideshow. But since it's an Android-device, you can get a bunch of tools at google-market to download and slideshow. Enjoy!

I haven't used that function. I have had it play music behind my slideshows, which it does quite well. I expected to be able to load my photos and music onto the Digital Frame via a USB cable, however that didn't seem to work. I expected that USB wireless ability to be built in, so that way was not possible unless I wanted to go buy one somewhere. So, I was left with moving my files and music to a memory card and then putting that into the Digital Window to get it there. The instructions are barely minimal. The picture quality is excellent.

Yes. One clicks on the setup icon from the main menu, that allows you to choose from a photo sequence setting: random, and sequence (where photos are displayed alpha-numerically based on file name).

Hello, Thanks for your question. To get a more random playback, make sure all of your photos are in 800 x 600 and with logical names like 001, 002, 003, etc. You will see duplicates every so often, like if you shuffle a deck of cards, so this is normal. You can also email us at support@nix-digital.com for further assistance if needed.

there are several settings you have to choose from. Make sure you have set for slides.

Yes, it can display pictures in random order. Still going strong at our house after almost 2 years.

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.

It has Random playback order modes. Shuffle play will keep track of what has been played so you don't get repetitions.

I believe you can make slideshow folders. I just have mine set to slideshow where they all play. So I haven't done that yet. You can add music and all types of things. I love this frame. It has a lot more than a lot of the frames out there. And you can put a lot of pictures on it also

Yes sir it is easy. There is a shuffle button on the display. And other buttons such as loop, order and repeat.

Oh yes my friend according to the user manual there is an option to play random in the current folder and also to play that way in all files.

Caroline: I have only did slides (126), quality is not the greatest. Ok for saving purposes but, Would recommend better quality $$devise. (it matches the cost) It think it will scan any thing, place neg. for optimum view.frame determines what shows.
