Can you rewind / ffwd within songs / podcasts or does it only jump to the start or to the next song?

both answers are INCORRECT - YES, you can fast-forward or rewind within a song, a podcast or a book while it's playing, press and hold the FF or RWD button, and the player will scroll within the song, not skip to the next/previous one. The screen displays the timeline only (songs) or timeline and actual time elapsed, time to go (books and podcasts.)

No rewinding. No fast forwarding. You can only jump to start or to next song.

You cannot skip or repeat tracks. The only function buttons on the back other than the power button are for volume and for answering a call if you have it sync'd to your phone.

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.

You can skip to the end of a song but not jump to a later part of the same song

Thanks for your question. Just click the volume up, and you can change to the next track.

Chiet Chu's answer is incorrect. Hold down the volume up button to skip to the next track, hold down the volume down button to go back a track. There is no way to fast forward/rewind. No play/pause button but going forward or back a track will start playing that track if it's paused. Music automatically pauses and resumes if you get a phone call (yes, they work with calls, too ). On my iPhone the music pauses if I hold the power button for one second, and if no music is playing that will start Siri. Not sure if that's an intended feature bc it's not in the manual but that's how it works.

Short answer is; I don't think you can. However I'm guessing that you can have some control over order of play by rearranging the directory structure. I don't know the logic it uses to pick tracks. Interesting question. Will research & respond again if I find out more

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.

Starting from the far left, the first one is a rewind button, the second play/pause, the third is fast forward, the fourth is mute, the fifth decreases volume, and the sixth increases it. I dont personally know what the rewind pause/play and fast forward buttons are for.

As far as I've tried, you can only skip to the next song, go back and fast forward. You can also choose music directly from your phone.

hold the &lt;&lt; or &gt;&gt; down for a bit and it rewinds/fast forwards, you release when you are to the point you want to be at. a quick tap will go back and forward by track. hope this helps!

You can also enter the song number you want to go to. I am not sure of what sort order it uses, but I can go to say the 543rd song on my thumb drive by keying in 543. In a few seconds, it will jump there. You can also skip to the next song with the >|| button or the next folder of songs with the FOL+ button.

You can both play/pause the current song and skip to the next one on Android. However, your phone and music app have to support it, so just do a little research on it.

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.

Hello. Sony's webpage for this item does not supply information about paused Podcasts playback functionality, but most devices will standardly resume a Podcast if you close the program and then go back into the same podcast. Usually Podcasts do not resume when you switch between Podcasts.Thank you

It can skip, go back songs, pause, volume, change playlists. It doesn't rewind or ff, it will just change the track. This device only lasted a year working.

If you go in the Menu, you can scroll to different albums. Otherwise, I keep it on "Shuffle" mode mostly, and it easily can skip to next song when pressing the "forward" button, or backwards for previous songs (song to song). I hope this helps.
