The product info said "It automatically organizes your MP3 files into different artists, styles, genre and album" ... I didn't remember it would do that cause it took me nearly a year to decide to learn how to convert my iTunes music to play on this player. I never found a note in the manual about this and I think that the playlists are not something you can do, but rather it's an id tag on your music. Read that product info again on the page. It makes this album thing sound like a plus when now I can't get my player to just play all the music one after another. I don't think it will be an easy thing to make your own playlist with it. I've only just now thought to look for a web site for them: http://pyruselectronicswebsite.blogspot.com/ Time for me to do more research...

I don't think there is a random mode. I haven't found it. But you can plug in an exteral device like your MP3 player and have it produce a playlist or random list. Remember you have to purchase a mini SD card.

Of course you can, you can select your playlist, artist, album, song, play videos too! Thia is nice wire, don't buy the ebay ones, they don't work as well

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.

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.

Hi Mely_May, I recently purchased the 32GB Ipod Touch 5th Generation, Wow What a machine, Yes you can create Playlists with the device or on your computer and just drag then to your device I recommend doing it this way so you have the playlist available for your computer and your Ipod, I would also suggest the 32gb version if you plan to watch movies, or Tv shows since they can be stored on the device.Hope this Helps.Brian

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

You can have it organized into folders, or just a long list. You can put songs into playlist for quick play. (That's what I suggest)

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

That has to be done digitally, you would have to convert your files to mp3 then create the play list in whatever application you use. IE itunes.

I have had no problem creating a playlist in windows media player 11 and copying it to the Sansa player from Windows Media player. That is the only way I found to get a playlist. You can't create it from the Sansa player

I think if your're in playlist mode you can but i think once youre playing a track you can only toggle through tracks.

Yes, you can make on-the-go playlists. In fact, if you hit the "menu" button while it's playing, one of your options is "Add to playlist". You can create your own playlists at anytime, anywhere you are.

Patricia, Not sure as I only use this for downloading overdrive audiobooks from my library and they automatically get placed either in nonfiction or fiction under the genre button or in unkown. I have not created my own playlist for this. I know there is a section that stores all your songs as I have seen it on my walkman. I would suggest going somewhere that you can check this out and play with all the features for a bit in a store first such as Best where they have display units out if you can. I know Best Buy displays these sony walkman's out on dispaly. For more info check out the reviews for this on Amazon.com and Best Buy.com and you may find what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I bought mine to play in the car and could not make playlists on it, so I sent it back

I have just implemented one way of doing this with the AK 240. You create a playlist which includes a single song. When you choose to play this playlist, the player will play that song and then stop. The procedure is admittedly clumsy, but effective. Moreover, if you give your playlists the name of the respective song, you'll get an ordering of your favorite songs that is more manageable than the listing of ALL songs provided by the device.

I looked at settings... it has play in order or shuffle the order about... there is a alphabetical list of all songs loaded ... you can also make a playlist... up to you
