Can I play the CD's in shuffle mode?Can I add other Boze speakers that I already own?Does it come with a money back guarantee or warrantee? Is it actual Boze or a knock off?

It will shuffle all the songs on the CD till they are all played then it will shift to the next CD in sequence.That is what I am disappointed in as I would like all my music shuffled from different CD's'. Hope that is helpful.Colleen

Hi...The songs on the CD's will shuffle but the CD's themselves do not shuffle (which I was really disappointed about). About adding speakers,I will quote from info booklet "You can use your wave system III as a multi room expansion speaker system for a Bose link-enabled lifestylehome entertainment system, Call Bose for required cables" I do not use speakers. The warranty is limited to two years, but it had a 30 days money back guarantee when I purchased it. It is a new system from Bose themselves not a refurbished system or a knock-off.

shuffle mode, no--if you have the multiple cd player plugged, you can't add a speaker, but you don't need it---guarantee, not sure--it is the actual bose.

I have a Bose Wave Music System III and like it a lot. The sound is amazing, it comes with warranty (Bose is good about repair and/or refund if there is a problem).

In regards to SoundSticks being short-lived, I suspect those speakers are being played at a sustained high volume. Remember, these are supplementary computer speakers. I wish someone who had these speakers stop functioning inside the warranty period would give us feedback on how it was handled by Harman Kardon.Thanks.

It has a cd slot, but for whatever reason on mine the cd only goes in 3/4 if the way then stops. Not sure what the deal is. I returned it and got a replacement unit, and same thing. These head units are not made to Pioneer USA quality, however they are legitimate pioneer units as they are sold on the South American and European Pioneer websites. They do however sound as great as any other pioneer unit I've ever owned, especially when paired up with all aftermarket and good quality components. I mainly just use the USB and Bluetooth inputs for my iPhone and I haven't had any other problems in 7 months It has a cd slot, but for whatever reason on mine the cd only goes in 3/4 if the way then stops.

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.

Do you know if this unit plays cd, cd-r. cd-rw? I have made most of my cd's and need a player that will play all them. Also, do I need to buy anything else other than this CS-325 to play my cd's? Thanks for your help.

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.

Regardless of music being in folders or not, there's no "Random-Play" option. The speaker DOES remember last song played and resumes from that one. The sound is amazing for a little thing like that. Excellent for laptops' and tablets' speakers.

The "Shuffle" option plays the exact same playlist each time the Soundfly is powered on. Mine begins with 1638, 1759, 1829, 0603, 0528, 1537, 1534, etc. Is there any way to change this order? It's sad to have over 2000 songs on a 16GB SD card and hear the same songs over and over (and over, and over).I can't believe a product that is excellent in so many ways could be lacking a way to randomize songs. I wouldn't like this with audio books, but for music I would think it's preferred. Thanks!

I believe it to be a defective unit. I bought 3 different units, since Christmas, not all were Onkyo, and all 3 skipped repeatedly thru each song. I bought brand new CD's, and all 3 units same results. I gave up on looking for a CD player, bought myself a USB flash drive, downloaded my music to it, stuck it into my Blu-ray player and now listen to my music thru my Blu-ray player. Also, any unit that plays a dvd, will also play a cd. But cd's are on their way out thanks to modern technology.

This unit has very good sound quality. I use it to play CDs in our Ballroom that is approximately 60' x 80' and the music fills the room. The only negative thing is I was told the unit will SHUFFLE all the CDs, however, it will only SHUFFLE one CD at a time. After discussing this with the Sharp Co. they agreed the information on their literature should be changed and be more exact. I do live in a retirement community, so this unit was bought for our dancing and listening enjoyment. Hope this helps.

You must scroll song by song in either standard mode (forward or backward in the order they are listed or shuffle which randomly picks songs). These modes are he same as you can play in. Unfortunately, I DO NOT recommend this unit being the failure rate is pathetic. I've had 3 fail within 2 hrs. of play time. I originally purchased one in 2013 for about $10.00 which is still working to this day. I play it thru my car stereo when driving on the road and I use it when riding my mountain bike on on paved rail trails and roads. I don't do dirt. It's nice and small, light, and I carry extra AAA batteries which are cheap. It only requires one which will just pop in in seconds and last a good 6-8 hrs of play time. So, back to the point. I decided in 2014 to grab another and all 3 failed within 2 hrs.. I returned all 3 and will not take another chance.

Mine always restarts the last song played before unplugging. There must be an internal charge that holds the memory. I have not figured out how to change to "shuffle" mode. The display shows different modes available. I don't have enough buttons on the unit or remote to access modes unless there is a secret button press combination needed. If anyone finds a way to change to shuffle I would like to know.

I just looked at the manual. It plays the "Roland/Boss proprietary format" (a bunch of tracks that come with the unit & new ones you can download, free I think), MP3 and WAV. I know by experience it doesn't play Windows Media, so I just rip from a CD or snag a WAV from the internet. Oh if you're playing single coils like me you're going to have a lot of hum but it's okay, it's helped me learn a lot but it is expensive.

Play it safe and send it back. What is the source of the music? Is it on all tracks by all artists? I don't have any problems with mine.
