There has to be a better way of finding a song. I hate that I have to go through like 100 songs before I find the one I'm looking for.Is there a faster way of skipping through the songs?

Two approaches will help significantly: 1) Organize your songs in folders. How your choose to format the folders is up to you. They could be based on artists names, decade that the songs came from, or alphabetical groups (example, the first folder could be named "A - F" and you put all songs in it that begin with the letters A - F. The second folder could be named "G - K" and you put all songs in it that begin with the letters G - K, etc.) This way, if you scroll through your folders a lot quicker than song-by-song. 2) Some people don't know that you can speed scroll by pausing a song (briefly press the on/off button), briefly move the scroll wheel forward and then let go (a solid black square will appear on the left-hand side of the display window), and then move the scroll wheel forward or backward (don't let go this time...keep it in the forward or backward position). You'll speed scroll through all the song much faster.

The Ipod Controls are some what lacking, the most frustrating part to me is that if you search by artist it does not asllow you to select individual albums within that artist, if you want to listen to a specific album you have to select it through the albums search folder. This would not be a major problem, but like someone already said, if you have 1000 artist and 2 or 3 even 5 albums per artist, that makes for a long list to go through.

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.

There's a pretty good mix. You get 70's, 80's and 90's standards with some obscure bands and songs. There's also Hard Rock, Ballads and Pop. I used the random selection mode and it was weeks before I heard a repeat. To be fair, some of the songs were pretty crappy which I guess they need to include in these packages.

it's really easy to switch over music. I made a file on the computer and took off most of the music and added more. you can keep all the music and add more. there is a spot for a mini card if you want to add lots of other music.

The shuffle is only great if you want to play similar genres of music and don't need to find a particular song. It's great to use while exercising though, or on continuous play while working, etc. It does have a button to shuffle the music if you want.

I still haven't figured out how to make the playlist. but to install songs are very simple. I just use the random function to play songs now. the controls is a bit weird at first but a day of using it you should be fine

If you want going back, click the central button tree times quickly. To skip the song a continue to next one you have to do the same but two times.

I don't know as I only use one playlist. Didn't know that was an option. Will try it.

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 have a Creative Zen and I dont care much for it. Everyone uses their players differently. For me, I want to fill it with MP3s created from my CD collection... turn it on... and hit random and get, in essence, my own customized radio station. Creative SUCKS for this. They repeat songs regularly, while other songs virtually never get played. The best I can do is use their DJ function and use their rarely heard feature... but that sucks too because it still repeats things too much and only lets me listen to 20 songs or so at a time, then I have to run through the menus to do it again. What I want is a TRUE random play. I just bought this Sansa e280... but I am sitting here right now deciding whether to crack it open or to return it and wait for something even better in the future... all I know is Creative hasnt impressed me at all in any way other than to make me less likely to buy them again.

The songs are listed and played in alphabetic order(numbers are listed and play first). The only way I've found so far; to manipulate playback is by adding numbers or letters to the "TITLE" of the song. Songs have a file name and a title name. You can also playback by Artist or Album.

No it does not. And I hate that so much. I don't think it wouldn't be too hard to have that feature which is sooo useful for users (at least for me :-) ). Especially when you have an mp3 CD with lots of songs on it. It starts from track 1 every time you start it.

On this particular player I hit the mode button on the top left side of the player. Mine doesn't have a playlist listing. Basically I've got mine set up where it plays my songs in alphabetical order. After it plays the last song in the alphabetized playlist. It will return to the first song alphabetically listed on my player. But you'll have to push that button until you get the results I got. Depending on how you set that mode button the player will play your mp3 files on a randomized setting. I don't like that setting cause from my experience with other players you don't have any control over what plays when. Long story short. If you push that mode button to the "proper setting" for me. You can play, fast forward or rewind until your heart is content and hear what you want when you want. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay in answering.

Yeah, I love this thing. Perhaps you should contact the company that produces it. The sad thing is that it only plays one song as an alarm. So suppose I have a folder called MyMusic and it had 3 songs in it. I have to set the Alarm to play that one song. When the alarm goes off, it will play that one song over and over again until you shut it off. It will NOT advance to the next song. I hope that answers your question. I've asked the company who makes this to at least allow us to play the songs within a folder, but as of yet, i've not gotten a response. Perhaps if more ask, they will develop this feature.
