Yes. You can even create permanent playlists on the fly. This device has an amazing amount of features.

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

Yes. I found the shuffle works best when I put one playlist on it. You could load a single book the same way, just do not program it to shuffle. You want to get to the ending in the old fashioned way.

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.

It has "Track Programming" which means you can tell it which tracks to play. Shuffle mode allows you to randomize songs from several disks and since this is a single disc player that's not possible.

Yes, you can put the music into folders and play the music in a specific folder.

Yes you can set the songs to shuffle. At the bottom of the screen to the right of the "open" icon there is another arrow which will bring you to another screen. If you choose mode that will allow you turn on/off the shuffle feature and choose whether you shuffle within the folder or all songs.

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.

Definitely. But most of these units can be set to play over and over again, to play the same section again, or play randomly. You have to make sure none of these are set. I wore out two of these. Would love another.

This plays in the order you copy and paste the mp3 into it. I don't believe it shuffles.

I've never done that, but I believe it will. It can certainly shuffle a folder, and you can then put everything in the same folder. But I think it might be able to shuffle everything if you want that.

The shuffle is only great if you want to play similar genres of music and don't need to find a particular song. It's great to use while exercising though, or on continuous play while working, etc. It does have a button to shuffle the music if you want.

When your music is on push the 'menu' button twice. Not too fast. The second push should show 'Random' that is your shuffle. If that doesn't work then when you push menu and it shows folders...then scroll with the right side of the button and it should go to the second page to show 'Random and Intro' scroll to Random and hit 'menu' and it will show a "R" with an arrow at the top, then you know you are in shuffle mode. Hope you can play with it and get it figured out. it took me lots of time to figure it out, It works great for what I got it for. It can be a real pain sometimes. It can be inconsistent at times. Good Luck!

I haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

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.

yes, although they are arranged by when you loaded them onto it and cannot be sorted alphabetically or any other way. songs loaded will frequently become corrupt as well. pass this one up, spend a few more bucks on a better model and you'll be happy you avoided this awful mp3 player

I see a repeat button at the bottom of the song but do not see a shuffle button. hope this helps

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.
