Depending on the model you get, when you hold the play/pause button you'll see these options:fod ALLrANOneYou just have to hold the button, until one of the options you want comes up. I have two of these gadget and the options are in different order. You want rAN (for random)The other options just repeat "one" repeat "folder" or repeat "all."

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.

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??

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 the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

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.

no shuffle. fat32 only as far as I can tell. manual is not useful. sketchy support for mp3 at best. Bluetooth works great though!

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

It does not do the "perfect shuffle" as one side always seems to be left with 2 to 4 cards to be shuffled. This is due to the location of the one side's driving gear, as it is not necessarily in sync with the other side's driving gear position. If you are looking for the "perfect shuffle", you would probably have to spend a lot more money for a shuffling card device to meet your criteria. I would still recommend this device as it suits my purpose for shuffling multiple card decks at a reasonable price. Hope this provides some insight to your question.

While in playback mode press the M key to bring up the menu. Repeat options should be the first listing. Press the Power/Play button (|) to enter the Repeat settings options. Using the +/- keys scroll through the options. When you get to the Shuffle option press the Power/Play (|) to confirm the option. You will be back at the Repeat menu once you confirm your choice. Press the M key again to return to the playback screen.

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.

I had never used this feature before but I just tried it and the shuffle feature does work.

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.
