Is there a shuffle/random option when playing from the sd card? If not, does it play from where it left off last (to prevent extreme repetition)?

Hi. I only use my iPhone and it works really nice w it. I only use the next and volume buttons and they respond pretty well. Love bought it only so I can listen to playlists on my rides. Enjoy if you buy!

As far as I've been able to determine there is no shuffle feature. However, given the number of songs you can load not really an issue (at least for me-I use this on my bicycle). It does retain the memory of where you stopped. It picks up at the beginning of whatever song was last playing-so if, for example, you stop near the end of a song the next time you turn it on it starts at the beginning of that song.

The "Shuffle" option plays the exact same playlist each time the Soundfly is powered on. Mine begins with 1638, 1759, 1829, 0603, 0528, 1537, 1534, etc. Is there any way to change this order? It's sad to have over 2000 songs on a 16GB SD card and hear the same songs over and over (and over, and over). I can't believe a product that is excellent in so many ways could be lacking a way to randomize songs. I wouldn't like this with audio books, but for music I would think it's preferred. Thanks!

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??

Well Levery and micheck, if it does have a shuffle mode any reason why you haven't shared how that works, since most others claim it does not have that feature? This is a very rare feature in portables, therefore very important to know if it actually has it.

It may not restart automatically when playing from an SD card and when playing it may get switched to a FM station. It also has problem switching from SD mode to USB mode and vice versa. The item is all messed up.

It doesn't shuffle that I'm aware of. I put some photos in this for my mom and installed them in chronological order; as far as I've ever seen they stay that way. BTW I was unable to load them directly into the frame storage (2GB my ass) and had to run out and buy a chip and plug it in. Chips are cheap enough, but I had to make a run to the store at a busy time.

Thanks anyway. My question had a typo in it. Is there a way to save a sequencer song to the SD card that includes a built-in rhythm on the A (System) tracks AND others on the B tracks?

Never tried to shuffle, but, It shows pictures as a slide show in the order on the card. If you wish to change the order you could load on your computer rearrange and put on a flash drive to do so. I use both the memory cards and flash drives for the slide show. Good luck!

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. Good Luck!

According to the manual there is a random play mode with mp3. I have never used it myself.

Interesting question. All I did was load some files and I play them in order or use skip back/forward buttons. I believe that's all you can do because there's no menue tool or option...just 'play' and skip. BUT know that the audio is superlative as it bypasses the already good Bluetooth. Maybe others know of a way to load an separate playlist? Or...get multiple SD cards LOL. Oh. And it does ecxit SD mode on power off but restart is a button press...

Don't use that option much but..I believe you need to find the category marked "settings" and there should be a sub-category marked "shuffle"-HTH.

I have not used the sd card in the speaker but I have used a usb (thumb drive). The speaker plays them in order. There is not a shuffle option. We bought this speaker for my son who is serving a church mission in Colombia. He emailed from Colombia talking about a speaker that could play songs from a usb or sd card. I had never heard of it. The $8 usb and $12 speaker was so much less than an ipod...about $200 cheaper. I put over 500 songs on the usb. It is a great option being able to use a usb or sd card. I was so happy to find this on Amazon.com. Don't know why we don't have these in the states. This one shipped from China.

It has a random button that plays tracks from all loaded discs in a random order. It stops when all tracks have been played once. I believe that is the same as shuffle.

I'm not tech savvy enough to understand exactly what you mean by SD card mode; however, for the time I had the headphone here is what I was able to do. I loaded music on the card; I then inserted the card into the headphone. I could play, skip forward/backward. Like James Albert said below, there is no menu so you just play since you are playing strictly from the SD card. You have no way of knowing what is coming up next. I sent my headphone back because it was too loose of my head--it kept sliding to the back of my head. But I have to admit, the sound was great.
