music playing features: but does the "artist" node actually let you select an album ("artist/album") from within the "artist" node just like the ipod?

1. yes 2. album order, if chosen by album. It would depend on how you built the playlist.

Yes, you do. Once it is entered into iTunes, it stays. Sometimes iTunes will even add the album art, but not if the songs are not already in their library.

Its drag and drop. If u mean drag and drop as in say you drag something from iTunes to your music folder that works

This device is weird when it comes to itunes. You have to put the music in a file and then drag it over to the sony player.

Yes you can shuffle, you can shuffle everything, the songs within an album, the songs within a genre, or the songs by an artist. That said, mine has the peculiarity that after it's been playing in shuffle mode for a while it takes itself out of shuffle mode and starts playing all the songs in alphabetical order. Must be some sort of software bug. But not a problem. Just takes three clicks to put it back in shuffle mode.

Patricia I created mine on my desktop and then moved it to the player in the playlist folder. I believe with the software from Sony you can create one by dragging music to it and then over to the player. Hope that helps!

Hi Terry,To be clear then..... can you go to that folder, select the first song to play and it automatically play thru every song in the folder.

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

I really don't know but the play/pause button doesn't work as should be... What really do is to pass to the next song so you can't pause anything... Aat least not with the device... Well, thats happens to me, but after all I'm really happy with the device because is really cheap, has many pluses and found only one little problem. That's all I can say about, hope it will help you to make your choice and good luck!!!

It has a menu system. You can view by artist, album, favorites, genre, or year. It also has a shuffle mode.

Yes, Title, artist and sometimes album. i sometimes rename a song( for various reasons) and sometimes that edited name is displayed and sometimes the original name comes up. I also never know what order they'll be played in, after they are loaded, which is okayBill

Yes it does. Hold the selector switch to the right or left and it will scan within the song track. If you flip the switch it skips to the next track. If you stop in the middle of a track it also remembers where you were and starts you at the same spot instead of starting over at the beginning which is nice if you are listening to podcasts or audiobooks.

Yes David, you can. You can also make it so only certain playlists go to each ipod. I sync 3 different ipods form my itunes, all have different songs.

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 haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

Yes you can select artist or album or song. Its a easy mp3 to work. I have 2 now. I download from my computer on to device. Battery last 4 hrs maybe. Charges fast. Holds enough for any music lover.

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.
