I am not sure, I bought this as a present, but let me ask the receiver and get back to you.

It does not have a randome play function. I reread the intructions and there is no method to have randome play.

I don't think there is a random mode. I haven't found it. But you can plug in an exteral device like your MP3 player and have it produce a playlist or random list. Remember you have to purchase a mini SD card.

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

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.

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!)

Hi,The card plays in two modes. . . straight through or random play. Interestingly, going back and forward again in random mode does not repeat the same songs again. It does pick up where it left off. The Android app allows you jump between folders as well. No tracks are shown. In that sense, it truly plays blind. When not in Random play it will loop around the songs in the order that they were written to the card. There is support documentation that explains this.

It will play then sequentially. I have so many tracks that I still haven't reached the last one. But, if I remember correctly you have the option to loop, shuffle, or stop at the end.

Yes you can. Press and hold the play/pause button on the device or the remote. You will be able to choose between playing ALL songs in sequence, RANDOM within the current directory, FOLDERALL playing all the songs in the current directory only, ONE to repeat the current song.

This was answered by another reviewer. I finally figured it out, too. While on play mode click MENU. The following will appear: Repeat, Equalizer, Variable Speed Play, Replay mode & Exit. Click REPEAT and right click or pick one of the following options you want....Random, Intro, Normal, Repeat One, Repeat folder and Repeat All. Click RANDOM for the shuffle mode. Hope this helps.

Regardless of music being in folders or not, there's no "Random-Play" option. The speaker DOES remember last song played and resumes from that one. The sound is amazing for a little thing like that. Excellent for laptops' and tablets' speakers.

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

If you can play songs from your mp3 but you can't use the remore to skip songs and stuff like you said, how do you work it when you're playing songs from the mp3?

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

I'm sorry, I just read the other responses. I thought you were referring to the capability to 'shuffle the songs.' I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It worked for my playlists. Unfortunately I have it in my classroom and wont be able to try it until Monday, August 5, 2013.

This model (Coby MP301-4G) has the following settings menu in the unit itself: equalizer, repeat mode, contrast (for the screen), back light, power set, language, version (of the software, I suppose), and info (which tells you how much space you've used and how much free space is left. I did not see any way to set random playback. I think it plays the tunes in the order they are located in your various "folders", such as a "rock" folder, "classical" folder, etc. It comes with software to be able to load the MP3's into the unit from your computer, set up your folders, etc. There may be more settings in the software which will play in a random mode. I can't find the software disk that came with it. It may be available to download from the Coby web site. HTH

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

I've never played MP3 CDs so I can't really answer the question. I use an Ipod (the ultimate CD changer) with my head unit. I've had zero problems with the random feature with this arangement. good luck.
