I see it has folder up and down icon buttons does it mean you can use them to cycle thru folders? can you play randomly the files within a folder?

yes it has shuffle function. I read some complaints from other viewer saying that it doesn't shuffle all musics when they have a lot of musics in it. For me personally I don't shuffle musics but I create different folders and use folder play depending on the mood. It is totally up to your choice.

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.

This model (Coby MP301-4G) has the following settings menu in the unit itself: equalizer, repeat mode, contrast (for the screen), back light, power set, language, version (of the software, I suppose), and info (which tells you how much space you've used and how much free space is left. I did not see any way to set random playback. I think it plays the tunes in the order they are located in your various "folders", such as a "rock" folder, "classical" folder, etc. It comes with software to be able to load the MP3's into the unit from your computer, set up your folders, etc. There may be more settings in the software which will play in a random mode. I can't find the software disk that came with it. It may be available to download from the Coby web site. HTH

It does have an alarm capability. It does have an option to repeat one song, and it has the ability to play a folder and then turn off (it beeps when it's finished playing the folder). I don't know about looping a folder.

Although I've never used the random/shuffle mode, it seems that this little gem can play mp3s in random mode. Their instruction sheet tells how to select/deselect "Radom play" [I believe they meant 'Random play'].

In my experience, it plays the tracks in the order they were added to the device. Once the last track has played, it starts over again at the first track you added. Additionally, you can turn on shuffle play so that they play in a random order.

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

I'm gonna say, no it does not. Very basic menu and selection of playback. Going thru the menu I seen no options for either of the two you ask about. Although, I haven't tried to play those either. Hope this helped.

It does, open a song from the directory your mp3's are in then in the bottom left corner of the player is a cog looking icon tap that and you can change the shuffle repeat and the like there.

Hi Richard,This device can play back music in several modes: random, sequential, repeat (single song, or songs in a folder), into (play a short time for each) etc. These options are preset and you can chose one of them from the menu. Hopefully, it answers your question.Good luck,Hans

I would only use one folder and note that it only reads mp3. It does show what is playing on the screen

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 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.

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.

It plays according to the order you copy the files into the device. When the last file is played, it rotates back to the first one.
