How do you shuffle a complete genre, as I can with my Nanos??

Click on genre. Press "shuffle" button on top. It has 2 arrows crossing each other.

Go to the genre, swipe down so you get "All albums", swipe down again for "all songs", swipe down again, and there it is :)

On my iPod Touch (5th generation), when I click on "genre", there is no icon on the top for shuffle. This is why I have used the smart playlist method.

What I have done is create a smart playlist that contains all songs of a particular genre. This can be easily shuffled. It's round-about, but it works.

I dont know if it's possible to create categories of music. I have my music in a seperate folder on my sd card, but it just shuffles.

It has Random playback order modes. Shuffle play will keep track of what has been played so you don't get repetitions.

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.

no, once you choose one that is the one you are in, it doesn't go to the next artist or album in sequence. (And won't skip to a new artist or album even if you shuffle.) The way to include many and various is to create a playlist and then shuffle that if you'd like, so it skips around and mixes it up.

Your Nano doesn't have a 'large' port like the Nano Shuffle that I use. Therefore, you will need an adaptor.

We each have our preferences, but listening to books on a shuffle is certainly not one of mine. As has been pointed out, there's no way to see where you are in the book, and it doesn't use a scroll wheel like a nano or other ipod to make finding your place easy. Since I usually convert CD audio books to MP3 and ipod formats I've found that when you have a long book (say 12-24 CDs), it's quite easy to lose your place if you ever do anything else with your ipod (and you certainly can't do much with a shuffle), it can be incredible PITA to get back to where you were. I finally dumped my shuffle.I'd recommend a nano (5th Gen is superior to the newest model in my opinion) or anything with a screen.

Never tried to shuffle, but, It shows pictures as a slide show in the order on the card. If you wish to change the order you could load on your computer rearrange and put on a flash drive to do so. I use both the memory cards and flash drives for the slide show. Good luck!

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 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.

Not sure about Shuffle. Can't see why it wouldn't. Works with iPod Nano 6th Gen and iPhone 4s.

You can, but it still won't play them in any order that I could work out. Not numerical, not in track order. Just some random order.

As far as I've been able to determine there is no shuffle feature. However, given the number of songs you can load not really an issue (at least for me-I use this on my bicycle). It does retain the memory of where you stopped. It picks up at the beginning of whatever song was last playing-so if, for example, you stop near the end of a song the next time you turn it on it starts at the beginning of that song.

I had never used this feature before but I just tried it and the shuffle feature does work.

Yes you can shuffle, you can shuffle everything, the songs within an album, the songs within a genre, or the songs by an artist. That said, mine has the peculiarity that after it's been playing in shuffle mode for a while it takes itself out of shuffle mode and starts playing all the songs in alphabetical order. Must be some sort of software bug. But not a problem. Just takes three clicks to put it back in shuffle mode.
