Does this device shuffle ALL songs, not just within album or artist folders? I want an ALL SONG shuffle. And can you create/upload playlists?

it has an "In Order" or "Shuffle" feature. I have given this to my daughter after I purchased a smart phone for myself. But I really enjoyed it and my daughter did too, before she too replaced it with an iTouch. Here is a link to provide you with more information. It's from a vendor, but they charge more for this than amazon. BUt it does have a pdf for the manual of this Coby. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/647188-REG/Coby_MP826_4G_MP826_MP3_Player.html

Yes it does! That was something that I was concerned about too. It doesn't matter where the songs are stored, the player sees all locations as a single library. You have the option to display artists, albums, genres or songs. Once you start playing a song from any group you can select to play all of the songs in that group randomly. So if you want to randomly play all of the songs that you have on your player randomly you go into Songs. There's a learning curve with the user interface, but after you get the hang of it you'll find it easy to use.

It has Random playback order modes. Shuffle play will keep track of what has been played so you don't get repetitions.

I use an I-POD to send MP-3's to the Boombox. I wet the I-POD to shuffle and have not had a problem. Never tried playing an album at a time. Good Luck.

yes, it has a shuffle feature. Overall the player is excellent. I've owned many "water resistant" players....this is by far the 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 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...

Mine always restarts the last song played before unplugging. There must be an internal charge that holds the memory. I have not figured out how to change to "shuffle" mode. The display shows different modes available. I don't have enough buttons on the unit or remote to access modes unless there is a secret button press combination needed. If anyone finds a way to change to shuffle I would like to know.

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.

Yes, there is an option to run in a random shuffle mode. I use it exclusively since I use this while running.

Yes, there is a random button. I have some 267 songs on an SD card and just press the random button.

Random -Randomly play songs in current folder.Repeat All-Repeat all songsSelect Repeat Mode Selecting. under this menu to enter into (repeat mode) interfance, by moving the button forward to select repeat mode. Normal will place all songs folder by folder.I have mine always set for Normal mode so I can have the music playing non stop. Of course when you notice the music has stopped you may have to move the button forward then hit play button to start music again. Hopes this helps.

Well Levery and micheck, if it does have a shuffle mode any reason why you haven't shared how that works, since most others claim it does not have that feature? This is a very rare feature in portables, therefore very important to know if it actually has it.

When i set up folders, I just put all of my separate artists folders into a single folder named Playlist and it played through everything. Try that and see if it works!

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

It's basically just a speaker. You would use your device to control everything. So yes, you can use shuffle. This thing was hard to figure out and the directions were terrible. But it is tiny, and sounds okay once you do figure out how to use it.
