shuffle: Is the Sony shuffle truly a random shuffle?

Yes, it has several options. It has intelligent shuffle (the truly random shuffle you want), it has shuffle & repeat if you want it, or shuffle by year, etc.

Yeah, personally I can't imagine trying to use a shuffle for books or podcasts even. I also had a second gen shuffle die on my in only a few weeks. IMO you really want at least a nano.

The RANDOM mode would be convenient for many of us, but it repeats certain songs many times before the entire list is played. The NORMAL mode also repeats some songs unpredictably. My unit has given good service for over a year and does what it should except for the above.

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.

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

disc shuffle, but it's never worked very well... hesitates, goes on too long, etc.

I think that in shuffle a song comes up more than once before all other tracks have played, but it is not all that often and not not seem to be patterned or all that prevalent.

No. The reason we are dissatified is because it won't shuffle the music. My husband had one that shuffled but someone stoled it when we went on vacation. Ordered two to replace the one he lost and neither one of them shuffled. Give up....

Conflicting answers! Several say it can be set to random - has anyone actually TRIED it? Or are they just saying the setting is there? I've had one that has a "random" setting and it doesn't shuffle the photos - they play in exactly the same order I loaded them on the flash drive. Can anyone explain the conflicting answers, or provide a link to a frame they KNOW will shuffle the order? Thank you.

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

No. But U can play music from a memory card. No shuffling or playlist access features.It's a nice little amp for a fair price and the remote works well.

The speaker itself does not have that function, but its not a concern since the the "shuffle" function would be controlled by whatever your audio source is (ie. iPod, etc). Hope that helps!

Yes it does have shuffle but I am not sure what a go list is so I can't really answer that

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 does have a repeat button at the bottom of the song playing but I do not see a shuffle button Hope this helps
