I am quite certain that it does have an equalizer. Playlists , not so sure about that. Not sure what they want for this media player now, but I regreted buying it not long after doing so. There are just better players out there, for better prices. Paid 60 or 70 for it, and now you can get a 7 inch tablet for similar price that will do a lot more. The sound was ok on the machspeed. touch screen not great, fm radio was pretty bad. If your buying it for music play, I would look at something else.

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.

Yup, it has shuffle, shuffle repeat all, repeat, and repeat all, also easy add to playlist feature which is very convienant.

Not sure about how well it manages them under the native interface, but if you install Rockbox is manages them just fine, and you can easily create playlists that use songs from either the internal or external drive, songs in different folders.

I have not tried playlists. You can add folders containing music and play from there but it will still play all music. I'm gonna try a playlist tonight and see if it will only play that.

No, you can't make playlists on this device. That was the only reason why I didn't get it. I've owned two other COWON Mp3 players and was very happy with them, but I need to make playlists AND I need 160 GB of storage. That leaves only one other choice and I had to reluctantly purchase the iPod Classic with its 160 GB hard drive. Though there were some compromises compared to the COWON (EQ in the iPod isn't as extensive and there's no A-B section repeat switch), I'm happy with the iPod. Good luck on your purchase.

There is no shuffle option. It plays in the same order and starts where you left off.

yes they have random play abilites. You can choose songs, album, or playlist shuffles

I use a program called isyncr to sync my music from iTunes. You can sync specific playlists.

U can shuffle the songs by hitting a button or u can play by playlists or by artists or in one group

No playlist support, so far, and you can't import them. Will show artist, album, genre. But the sound quality makes up for the poor interface.

You get some functions, but not complete control. The up and down arrows raise and lower sound, the left and right will skip to next and last song, and the play button will pause or start it. You cannot, however, navigate menus or anything like that. Its best to start a playlist and use the remote for some simple commands

Where their is a will, there is a way. However, I find that support for iTune or any other playlists to be troublesome at best across all players with the exception of iTunes across apple products. To get the same effect trouble free, I simply create folders by the name of the playlists and copy those songs to those folders and chose folders like playlists. This system will work great with any player that supports files which is pretty much all of them. Assuming that you have high quality files and good headphones, the increased sound quality over apple products or any other player in its price range will make the trouble well worth the effort. The X5 is uniquely good in terms of SQ. Where their is a will, there is a way.

not on the speakers themselves. but i went into my equalizer on itunes and fooled around with it until i found the setting i liked. for me, it was "electronic" that sounded best.

I think you can print your playlist in I-tunes, but other than that, you just need to get to know your song list. This is a very simplistic machine. You have one playlist. You can listen to them in order or shuffle them. Period.

The EQ settings are for Jazz, Classical, Funk, Hip Hop, etc., then you can use the "custom EQ" settings, which has some slider buttons but I don't know what they do.

You cannot create playlists on-the-fly on the device - you have to use either Winamp or Windows Media Player to create and transfer them (or Napster, actually). Amazingly, Sony's new "Media Manager" cannot create playlists, or even import them.
