You can listen to all your music or select permade playlists. As well you can choose to listen just an artist or album.

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.

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.

You can fast forward, shuffle, repeat all that. The downside to this player is moving through folders. I have my music organized my artist & album making 88 folders filled with mp3 files. There's no quick way to get through the folders; such as going from folder 40 to 80. Also the screen shows no data on the files or folders.

Ok Jan! My guess you are really talking about "shuffle mode". This mode ramdomly goes from one song to song to another, but not in the order you have them in. It appears that your player is jumping around from song to song. Check it out. See if you are in the setting " Random Shuffle Mode". If it is! GET OUT OF IT! Hope this helps!

You can switch from folder to folder. You have to hit the folder button twice, then the up and down arrows on the remote. You have to actually select a song with in the folder using the folder button to play the song. It is kind of aggravating and takes a few tries though.

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.

Yes, just push the button and it goes to the next song, push the other button and it starts the current song over or push it twice and it goes back a song. I don't have it in front of me so I can't specify which button is which but it is pretty intuitive.

I didn't think so. It was okay at first, it definitely works as a music player, but the limited functionality led me to ultimately buy another player and give this one away. I had a hard time shuffling music (I don't think you can) and finding certain artists. The UI isn't very intuitive.

I have just implemented one way of doing this with the AK 240. You create a playlist which includes a single song. When you choose to play this playlist, the player will play that song and then stop. The procedure is admittedly clumsy, but effective. Moreover, if you give your playlists the name of the respective song, you'll get an ordering of your favorite songs that is more manageable than the listing of ALL songs provided by the device.

It depends on how long it's off for. If it's only off for ten minutes or so, it will pick up where you left off. If it's off for much longer than that, it goes back to the first song you downloaded.

It technically has an MP3 player but it doesn't cycle through your playlist like it should. It stays on repeat until you change the song and then repeats that song aswell.

You can't select tracks from a thumb drive. The songs will play in the order they are listed. You can, however, skip over a song.

Does the selection look for all file types, or just MP3 files. Can you select "All Files" and see everything on your player?

The product info said "It automatically organizes your MP3 files into different artists, styles, genre and album" ... I didn't remember it would do that cause it took me nearly a year to decide to learn how to convert my iTunes music to play on this player. I never found a note in the manual about this and I think that the playlists are not something you can do, but rather it's an id tag on your music. Read that product info again on the page. It makes this album thing sound like a plus when now I can't get my player to just play all the music one after another. I don't think it will be an easy thing to make your own playlist with it. I've only just now thought to look for a web site for them: http://pyruselectronicswebsite.blogspot.com/ Time for me to do more research...

Yes you can, it has skip forward and backward buttons to switch between songs.

One important clarification - it remembers the file you were on and starts playing it from the beginning, but if you were listening to, say, a lecture which is 1+ hours long, it won't remember where you stopped, so it will start it over from the beginning. You have NO way to fast forward (only skip), which is why I'll be returning mine.

Mick, I have never done this but in checking the Owner's Manual...page 13 states you CAN playback/repeat one track or REPEAT ALL. "During program playback, the programmed tracks/files will be played repeatedly". Sure hopes this helps! Mike F.
