Is there a way to random play songs from the flash (or CD) drive....but especially the flash drive?

sorry I have never tried the random play with CD drive, and I am not sure what you mean by flash drive...if you use an Ipod, the Ipod has the random play on itself.

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem. Display information depends on what is available on flash drive--ir title artist album are provided it will display them--though you have to turn on the display by using the remote 'display" button or it just gives numeric info

Yes, shuffle play works with USB and CD player. You can also program play for both. I tried a regular commercial audio CD and shuffle play works. I did not try a MP3 CD to see if the shuffle play would work. However, I would venture to say that it would.

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

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

No. I've found the USB on this is totally useless. Can't even play from a flash drive.

Hi Terry,To be clear then..... can you go to that folder, select the first song to play and it automatically play thru every song in the folder.

I had the same question beforehand and never got a straight answer. As far as I can tell there is NO shuffle/random function on the unit. When playing songs off the SD card it always plays them in the same (alphabetical) order. The "Repeat" button just turns the repeat function off and on, and the "Mode" button just changes the input. There is no mention of a "shuffle" function in the instructions. The lack of a shuffle/random function is the only criticism I have though...otherwise it is a great little device.

I have never done so but I think so; especially for music once you have internet access or you can play it from a USB flash drive or sd card

Yes, It Will Show the Current Title Of The Song Playing, But It Will Not Show A List Of Files On The Flash Drive.

Oh yes my friend according to the user manual there is an option to play random in the current folder and also to play that way in all files.

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.

If you have a usb mp3 player it will not read the music files. If you copy mp3 files to a usb drive (no folders) it will play them.

this is just an extension no electronics involved ,if you can play music plugging your flash drive directly into isimple interface then .yes it will play.

Yes, you can play a CD & record it to a USB flash drive. I have all of my CD's on flash drives, which I downloaded from my computer. I simply choose a flash drive & play it back in the Teac in the shuffle mode, which is what I used to do with my old Sony 400 CD player. This is far superior in both sound quality and convenience.

Not sure about how well it manages them under the native interface, but if you install Rockbox is manages them just fine, and you can easily create playlists that use songs from either the internal or external drive, songs in different folders.
