Is there a shuffle feature? and if so, is it only within a CD, or shuffle all 5 CDs?

I believe it shuffles the five cds in random order. I have never tried it so I do not know if it then shuffles the individual tracks within the cd. There is a function to shuffle the current cd tracks but not all of the cds. So, you can try it and see if it also shuffles the individual tracks too but I think that it is one or the other. I'll have to try it sometime to see for myself!

It has single disc shuffle and multi disc shuffle. Here is a link to an online manual. https://docs.sony.com/release/CDPCE375.pdf You may have to copy this address into your address bar to view the manual. I

Yes, there is. It can only load one cd at a time (the last, quite dated Sony stereo system we had a 3 disc cd changer. But the cd seems to be dying a slow, gradual death at the hands of the USB port). Other than that, it's a pretty good, clear sounding stereo. Hook up a few more speakers to it if you can and I imagine it being stellar on some high quality speakers.

I have only used the player to play regular music CDs and play them from beginning to end. However, the owner's manual lists three additional playback modes. There is a random playback mode where all of the files on the disc are played in random order. There is a memory playback mode in which you can make a playback list of up to 25 files. There is a repeat mode. In the repeat playback mode, you can play an entire CD repeatedly, play one track repeatedly, or combine it with the memory playback to play the playlist repeatedly or random playback to play all of the tracks on the disc in random order repeatedly.

You can transfer only one song at a time. Then you can burn a CD with as many transferred songs as your CD can hold.

No it does not. I wish it did. My old Sony player had the shuffle function and I really miss it. I was unable to find one that had shuffle. Good luck!It does shuffle the songs on each separate disc but does not shuffle the 5 discs.

It has a shuffle button, it is supposed to. We had bad luck with the unit, probably cause we did not know how to run it

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

Mine does 5 discs at a time. It looks as though they are using the same reviews for both the 5 disc duplicator and the 7 disc duplicator.

No. You can play only one CD at a time. There may be other versions where you can load multiple CDs, but this is not the one for that.

That isn't something I've tried, however the manual says when playing CD/MP3/WMA discs, you can select Normal Play, Repeat Play, Shuffle Play or Program Play. For the USB drive, you can select Single Repeat, All Repeat, Selected Folder Play, Selected Folder Repeat Play, Shuffle Play, Program Play and Program Repeat Play. Does this help you?

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.

Yes it does, and it changes quickly, even when shuffling to a different cd.

One disc at a time. It is not multi-disc. I you have a disc with a lot of songs, I believe you can program the disc to play a number of songs out of order.

Did you intend to ask "How many CDs does it play?" If so, the answer is: one at a time. The system has a shuffle mode (accessible on the remote-control device) if you want to alter the sequence of the tracks on the CD.

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!

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.

It has Random playback order modes. Shuffle play will keep track of what has been played so you don't get repetitions.
