Received this player yesterday. When I put this player in shuffle mode, it still plays songs in alphabetical order. I have tried everything.

I am sorry mine lasted 1 week...it's a waste of your money. I recommend returning it for a refund.

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.

Nope, it doesn't even shuffle. Its "touch screen" is really a screen that only responds to a little stylus that comes with the player and that doesn't work well either. this thing is pretty crappy. i wouldn't waste the money. for about the same money, i picked up a Sandisk MP3 player that is much better. it's only a little bigger than an ipod nano, it fits on the armband that i used with my nano and it has lasted a lot longer. plus, it has an sd slot to add memory. the eclipse is junk. stay away from it.

I have not had that problem with the player, I've had it with other droid devices or even ios ones, this one works great the walkman software is really well made. The only prob I found is it took a long time to analyze my music, after that it's been great No playlist problems nor recreating stuff over and over.

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.

If you go in the Menu, you can scroll to different albums. Otherwise, I keep it on "Shuffle" mode mostly, and it easily can skip to next song when pressing the "forward" button, or backwards for previous songs (song to song). I hope this helps.

it has a shuffle all option which works the same as a random option, when u first choose the music option from the main menu the first choice it offers is shuffle all

i have a older mp3 and it has a shuffle option and that's great but it plays the songs in the same shuffle order every time. sounds funny I have 900 songs in mine but have listened to it for so long I can almost tell u what song is coming on next!

Sorry, Bill, I returned the device the day I received it when I discovered that it couldn't put playlists in it. I never got to see if there was a shuffle mode. I ended up getting the 160 GB iPod classic and, though I miss some of the eq functions that the other smaller Cowon devices I own have, it does allow playlists and it is a whopping 148 total GB for music/video/photos. I'm happy with it.

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.

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.

This was answered by another reviewer. I finally figured it out, too. While on play mode click MENU. The following will appear: Repeat, Equalizer, Variable Speed Play, Replay mode & Exit. Click REPEAT and right click or pick one of the following options you want....Random, Intro, Normal, Repeat One, Repeat folder and Repeat All. Click RANDOM for the shuffle mode. Hope this helps.

I think there might be a shuffle setting but it is very difficult to see the name of the songs. Whatever order you have your songs listed in a folder, is the order that they play. I found the interface difficult to navigate. I bought this for my 3yr old and decided to return it.

Hi,The card plays in two modes. . . straight through or random play. Interestingly, going back and forward again in random mode does not repeat the same songs again. It does pick up where it left off. The Android app allows you jump between folders as well. No tracks are shown. In that sense, it truly plays blind. When not in Random play it will loop around the songs in the order that they were written to the card. There is support documentation that explains this.

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.

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.

Yes you can set the songs to shuffle. At the bottom of the screen to the right of the "open" icon there is another arrow which will bring you to another screen. If you choose mode that will allow you turn on/off the shuffle feature and choose whether you shuffle within the folder or all songs.
