Have they fixed Random Play? The older Pioneer head units had a random play feature but for MP3CDs if you try to skip the track by pressing next or prev it would play the next/prev track on the file order (not a new randomly selected track). So random...

I've never played MP3 CDs so I can't really answer the question. I use an Ipod (the ultimate CD changer) with my head unit. I've had zero problems with the random feature with this arangement. good luck.

Yes you can. Press and hold the play/pause button on the device or the remote. You will be able to choose between playing ALL songs in sequence, RANDOM within the current directory, FOLDERALL playing all the songs in the current directory only, ONE to repeat the current song.

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.

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.

This was answered by another reviewer. I finally figured it out, too. While on play mode click MENU. The following will appear: Repeat, Equalizer, Variable Speed Play, Replay mode & Exit. Click REPEAT and right click or pick one of the following options you want....Random, Intro, Normal, Repeat One, Repeat folder and Repeat All. Click RANDOM for the shuffle mode. Hope this helps.

I don't think there is a random mode. I haven't found it. But you can plug in an exteral device like your MP3 player and have it produce a playlist or random list. Remember you have to purchase a mini SD card.

-Yes, CD player has shuffle, repeat a single track or repeat all tracks, features. My dad has this unit and absolutely loves it, especially that it can play mp3 CDs as well as regular.

Yes it will shuffle. When the player is on, press pause (power on/off) button, then NEXT button, the player will be in random play mode. To get it out of random mode press pause then the previous button and it will go back to in order play.

my apologies...i did not own the device long enough to answer your question. as soon as i found out that the device would not shuffle play, it went into the trash can. sorry.

I looked at the manual and see no way to navigate folders. You can skip from track to track or you can skip 10 tracks at a time. Of course, there is a randomize function for playback which is what I use the most. I have been pleased with the unit. Sound is good and I have had no problems with it.

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.

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

There is no shuffle option. It plays in the same order and starts where you left off.

Yes. Since you asked, I stuck in a music CD and it played it well. The tracks showed on the screen. I didn't know this myself until now.

yes it is similar to an apple ipod in this sense. it will never play the same track twice in random unless you completely played all your songs in the shuffle
