Does this device shuffle ALL songs, not just within album or artist folders? I want an ALL SONG shuffle. And can you create/upload playlists?

it has an "In Order" or "Shuffle" feature. I have given this to my daughter after I purchased a smart phone for myself. But I really enjoyed it and my daughter did too, before she too replaced it with an iTouch. Here is a link to provide you with more information. It's from a vendor, but they charge more for this than amazon. BUt it does have a pdf for the manual of this Coby. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/647188-REG/Coby_MP826_4G_MP826_MP3_Player.html

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.

Yes it does! That was something that I was concerned about too. It doesn't matter where the songs are stored, the player sees all locations as a single library. You have the option to display artists, albums, genres or songs. Once you start playing a song from any group you can select to play all of the songs in that group randomly. So if you want to randomly play all of the songs that you have on your player randomly you go into Songs. There's a learning curve with the user interface, but after you get the hang of it you'll find it easy to use.

Sorry, Bill, I returned the device the day I received it when I discovered that it couldn't put playlists in it. I never got to see if there was a shuffle mode. I ended up getting the 160 GB iPod classic and, though I miss some of the eq functions that the other smaller Cowon devices I own have, it does allow playlists and it is a whopping 148 total GB for music/video/photos. I'm happy 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.

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 still haven't figured out how to make the playlist. but to install songs are very simple. I just use the random function to play songs now. the controls is a bit weird at first but a day of using it you should be fine

Hi there. Yes, there's a shuffle control so you can play songs randomly (which is one of the things I really like about it!)

Yes, it works just like all iPods. It will reset the shuffle after adding new songs, but it starts right where you left off when you stopped playback and/or charge it.

Yes it does. The thing is, it has separate directories for the built in flash memory and the additional SD card that you can add. As a result, you won't be able to shuffle all of the songs that are saved directly to the player as well as the ones you've put onto the SD card. Anyway, I find the shuffle of pretty bad quality, because it frequently plays the same files over and over leaving a good portion of my playlist as good as forgotten after a while of using just shuffle mode. Of course, it takes a while to hear the same one over again, but with over 7 gigs of music on it like I had, you will still be able to notice especially after listening continuously over daily commutes. If you get this player you'll see what I mean.

Hi Terry,To be clear then..... can you go to that folder, select the first song to play and it automatically play thru every song in the folder.

When you are on your computer, open the file that shows your music you've downloaded, create different folders. I think you can control the order played, if you don't select shuffle

thanks for your question i do have music on the player but only in one folder but it should play separate folders so yes it will play separate folders it is a very good music player if your music files have album art associated with them it will show album art- its like this if you have one song in one folder then you have another folder in the same folder that has a lot of songs as the one song in the one folder it will play the songs in the folder after playing the first song hope that makes sense -----lol

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.

it has a shuffle all option which works the same as a random option, when u first choose the music option from the main menu the first choice it offers is shuffle all

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.

When i set up folders, I just put all of my separate artists folders into a single folder named Playlist and it played through everything. Try that and see if it works!
