I'm sorry, I just read the other responses. I thought you were referring to the capability to 'shuffle the songs.' I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It worked for my playlists. Unfortunately I have it in my classroom and wont be able to try it until Monday, August 5, 2013.

Thank you for your advice. That's something they don't list in the instructions. I went and got one and love it. I suppose I still have to keep it in "manual" and not in "auto sync" ? Or does it matter as long as I keep it in the iTunes playlist?

I had the same question beforehand and never got a straight answer. As far as I can tell there is NO shuffle/random function on the unit. When playing songs off the SD card it always plays them in the same (alphabetical) order. The "Repeat" button just turns the repeat function off and on, and the "Mode" button just changes the input. There is no mention of a "shuffle" function in the instructions. The lack of a shuffle/random function is the only criticism I have though...otherwise it is a great little device.

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!

I did not facing this problem. I have more than 100 songs (mp3), and it working well.At first, I also wonder it will function correctly, so i have tried to press next/previous button then the songs is randomly changed.So, maybe you can try to press the next/previous button to see whether it change to others song.

I don't know as I only use one playlist. Didn't know that was an option. Will try it.

I'm trying to figure this out too. It's the only problem I'm finding with this iPod function. I hate that I can't shuffle the songs. Can anyone help?? Thanks.

I wish I had an answer for you, but my mp3 player arrived in a case from another brand with NO INSTRUCTION SHEET at all. I learned how to use it by trial and error. I downloaded about 50 of my favorite songs from my computer to a single directory in the the mp3 player, then I just play them. I suspect that my player was a RETURN which Amazon sold to me as NEW... but without the instruction sheet.

The organization has improved greatly with the newest firmware, no playlist support yet but it will come. The menus are very intuitive for my taste, it's definitely not an Apple product (which I think is a good thing)You can use artist/album/song browsing and you can also organize into folders so you could actually set up folders with your songs as playlists, so if you were so inclined I'd make a folder called "1Jogging Music" and have your music for jogging in there are just use the folder view to find it.

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you. V/R Jackie

I have not tried playlists. You can add folders containing music and play from there but it will still play all music. I'm gonna try a playlist tonight and see if it will only play that.

Thanks, Alex. This is very helpful. I'm feeling like this might work for me, and even if it doesn't, I'll still have an awesome mp3 player.-Rick

Sadly, we gave up on the mp3 player. We were able to get it to work, but each button servers a different function, depending on what screen you are in.The person I bought this for, wanted to be able to just click and drag music to the device, hit the play button, and be on their way. This device is not quite that simple.However, it sounds like your device has a malfunction. It is possible that your battery is not holding a charge.

I'm going to ask you one more question if you don't mind. If I just want the best player I can find to listen to music and don't care about lists, album art, interfaces or anything else. I just want to put my songs on the player and listen to them in the order they come up, which do you recommend? (Can you tell I'm an old lady and just love to listen to music? LOL!) All that matters to me is good sound, ease of putting songs on the player, number of songs I can add to the player and how long it will play music on one charge. Even the Cowan 160 GB player sounds interesting to me.

If I recall, it can make playlists on the go. I returned mine. After being a Creative user for many years, I found this to be absolutely horrible.

It's either plays ALL the songs in alphabetical/numerical order or just one song. There's not a random option. I have it set to play on song only ..... and when I get bored of that song ill make it play another ONE song. Hope this helps. :)
