Does it have a shuffle mode where it can play all songs downloaded randomly, not just a single folder (album)?

I couldn't figure this player out at all. I thought it was me but my daughter tried and she couldn't either. She has one but a different model that we use just fine.

Yes, there is an option to run in a random shuffle mode. I use it exclusively since I use this while running.

No, it can shuffle or play songs in the order that they were loaded into the Eclipse. There is a way to turn off the player and then start it back up at the same point.

Yes it does. Go to Video Playback Options -&gt; Play Mode -&gt; there are Shuffle and Repeat all and Repeat One options available. Here is the link to the manual of the device. www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705073.pdf Go to page 52 you will find the details related to it.

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.

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'].

When your music is on push the 'menu' button twice. Not too fast. The second push should show 'Random' that is your shuffle. If that doesn't work then when you push menu and it shows folders...then scroll with the right side of the button and it should go to the second page to show 'Random and Intro' scroll to Random and hit 'menu' and it will show a "R" with an arrow at the top, then you know you are in shuffle mode. Hope you can play with it and get it figured out. it took me lots of time to figure it out, It works great for what I got it for. It can be a real pain sometimes. It can be inconsistent at times.

yes it dos play mp3s from a remote hard drive via USB but not 'shuffle' feature to allow random playback, or a way of accessing the playlist

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

No shuffle or on the go list. It's a solid little unit though. Battery lasts a really long time compared to other players I've had.

No, you have to remember the order the songs are in when shuffle isn't activated

The RANDOM mode would be convenient for many of us, but it repeats certain songs many times before the entire list is played. The NORMAL mode also repeats some songs unpredictably. My unit has given good service for over a year and does what it should except for the above.

Yes it does have shuffle but I am not sure what a go list is so I can't really answer that

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse

It will shuffle the playlist, but if you turn the player off and then back on again, it plays the "shuffled" list in the same order, and there is no way to re-shuffle the list.
