Does this player offer a random/shuffle playback feature for video files?

Not that I'm aware of. The playback features are pretty basic. They haven't update firmware in quite a while, don't know if this feature will ever be available.

yes it dos play mp3s from a remote hard drive via USB but not 'shuffle' feature to allow random playback, or a way of accessing the playlist

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse

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.

Yes, The Colby MP3 Player has a shuffle option where the songs will play in a random order.

Dear sir or madam, This player can only play in order according to the order in your flash drive. Hope you can understand. Best regards

Conflicting answers! Several say it can be set to random - has anyone actually TRIED it? Or are they just saying the setting is there? I've had one that has a "random" setting and it doesn't shuffle the photos - they play in exactly the same order I loaded them on the flash drive. Can anyone explain the conflicting answers, or provide a link to a frame they KNOW will shuffle the order? Thank you.

It does, open a song from the directory your mp3's are in then in the bottom left corner of the player is a cog looking icon tap that and you can change the shuffle repeat and the like there.

Yes, it has several options. It has intelligent shuffle (the truly random shuffle you want), it has shuffle & repeat if you want it, or shuffle by year, etc.

Yes, go to settings and select play mode: Shuffle, or Order, or Loop, or Repeat.

Ok Jan! My guess you are really talking about "shuffle mode". This mode ramdomly goes from one song to song to another, but not in the order you have them in. It appears that your player is jumping around from song to song. Check it out. See if you are in the setting " Random Shuffle Mode". If it is! GET OUT OF IT! Hope this helps!

You can fast forward, shuffle, repeat all that. The downside to this player is moving through folders. I have my music organized my artist & album making 88 folders filled with mp3 files. There's no quick way to get through the folders; such as going from folder 40 to 80. Also the screen shows no data on the files or folders.

Nope. It can only play everything in the order it was stored in your computer and without any breakdows/folders. But that's not the proble, th eproblem it's its poor construction. Mine stopped working after 4 uses.

I don't think so....it just plays the songs as listed on the card. When I turn it off and on again it usually start from the first song on my list. It would of been cool to have the shuffle/random function though.....but its still a great device.

Hi there. Yes, there's a shuffle control so you can play songs randomly (which is one of the things I really like about it!)

As far as I've been able to determine there is no shuffle feature. However, given the number of songs you can load not really an issue (at least for me-I use this on my bicycle). It does retain the memory of where you stopped. It picks up at the beginning of whatever song was last playing-so if, for example, you stop near the end of a song the next time you turn it on it starts at the beginning of that song.

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.
