How does it order songs? Anyone know what order it chooses?

This unit plays files and folders in the order of creation in SD card. In other words, if you want to play several files in an order, you need to copy them into SD card in the intended order. For example if you have 5 files and you want to play them in the order of 1 thru 5. You need to copy file 1 into SD card first, and then file 2 into card and then file 3 and then 4 and 5. As Paul said in the previous post, when you select multiple files and folders you will never know which file/folder copied into SD card first so the only way to make an intended sort is making it manually one by one.

No, you have to remember the order the songs are in when shuffle isn't activated

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.

In my experience, it plays the tracks in the order they were added to the device. Once the last track has played, it starts over again at the first track you added. Additionally, you can turn on shuffle play so that they play in a random order.

I still haven't figured out how to make the playlist. but to install songs are very simple. I just use the random function to play songs now. the controls is a bit weird at first but a day of using it you should be fine

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

yes they have random play abilites. You can choose songs, album, or playlist shuffles

Thank you for your question. And then select the song you want to include in the playlist first. After that, it is OK if you select the "Add playlist". It is very easy.

Sort of. You can create a playlist with a particular order on iTunes then put it on the iPod shuffle. You can also use the "voice over" button which tells you the song's artists, title, etc.

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.

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 don't think so....it just plays the songs as listed on the card. When I turn it off and on again it usually start from the first song on my list. It would of been cool to have the shuffle/random function though.....but its still a great device.

You can pre-sort your playlist on iTunes by alphabetical order within the Artist Name but outside of that, you will not be able to know in real time what is playing because there is no display screen like the larger iPod versions. The other option is to create smaller 10 song playlists that you know the specific order of and shuffle between them. This inability to know "real-time" what is playing is a small downside of the shuffle and would be a reason to buy the larger iPod with screen display.

Yes, go to settings and select play mode: Shuffle, or Order, or Loop, or Repeat.

You cant select individual tracks, only go forward and backward one song at a time

it has an "In Order" or "Shuffle" feature. I have given this to my daughter after I purchased a smart phone for myself. But I really enjoyed it and my daughter did too, before she too replaced it with an iTouch. Here is a link to provide you with more information. It's from a vendor, but they charge more for this than amazon. BUt it does have a pdf for the manual of this Coby. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/647188-REG/Coby_MP826_4G_MP826_MP3_Player.html

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.
