Will this speaker shuffle songs or must it play the songs in the order they are on the SD card?

No shuffle, decent speaker, good for indoors (bedroom bathroom kitchen etc)

It doesn't shuffle that I'm aware of. I put some photos in this for my mom and installed them in chronological order; as far as I've ever seen they stay that way. BTW I was unable to load them directly into the frame storage (2GB my ass) and had to run out and buy a chip and plug it in. Chips are cheap enough, but I had to make a run to the store at a busy time.

Yes it does. The thing is, it has separate directories for the built in flash memory and the additional SD card that you can add. As a result, you won't be able to shuffle all of the songs that are saved directly to the player as well as the ones you've put onto the SD card. Anyway, I find the shuffle of pretty bad quality, because it frequently plays the same files over and over leaving a good portion of my playlist as good as forgotten after a while of using just shuffle mode. Of course, it takes a while to hear the same one over again, but with over 7 gigs of music on it like I had, you will still be able to notice especially after listening continuously over daily commutes. If you get this player you'll see what I mean.

It has "Track Programming" which means you can tell it which tracks to play. Shuffle mode allows you to randomize songs from several disks and since this is a single disc player that's not possible.

It has a random button that plays tracks from all loaded discs in a random order. It stops when all tracks have been played once. I believe that is the same as shuffle.

It's either plays ALL the songs in alphabetical/numerical order or just one song. There's not a random option. I have it set to play on song only ..... and when I get bored of that song ill make it play another ONE song. Hope this helps. :)

It does have a repeat button at the bottom of the song playing but I do not see a shuffle button Hope this helps

The speaker itself does not have that function, but its not a concern since the the "shuffle" function would be controlled by whatever your audio source is (ie. iPod, etc). Hope that helps!

Yes, I believe there is a shuffle option as well as an option to manually choose from folders. No, it does not work particularly well. I ended up returning the two I bought because of shoddy construction and the fact that one stopped loading two days after I received them. I ended up buying the Coby mp301-4G player and it seems much more solid for only a few bucks more.

No, it can shuffle or play songs in the order that they were loaded into the Eclipse. There is a way to turn off the player and then start it back up at the same point.

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.

This plays in the order you copy and paste the mp3 into it. I don't believe it shuffles.

I would think so. I listen to music on mine, but it always begins where it left off. And you would probably want to make sure you do not hit the shuffle button.

I have not used the sd card in the speaker but I have used a usb (thumb drive). The speaker plays them in order. There is not a shuffle option. We bought this speaker for my son who is serving a church mission in Colombia. He emailed from Colombia talking about a speaker that could play songs from a usb or sd card. I had never heard of it. The $8 usb and $12 speaker was so much less than an ipod...about $200 cheaper. I put over 500 songs on the usb. It is a great option being able to use a usb or sd card. I was so happy to find this on Amazon.com. Don't know why we don't have these in the states. This one shipped from China.

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.

Yes. You can play your songs in alphabetical order or select Shuffle and the player plays them in random order.

I have done this, but it doesn't shuffle, it just plays by the song list alphabetically.
