How well does the remote work? Are you able to easily shuffle through music and playlists, etc.?

Yes you can. Press and hold the play/pause button on the device or the remote. You will be able to choose between playing ALL songs in sequence, RANDOM within the current directory, FOLDERALL playing all the songs in the current directory only, ONE to repeat the current song.

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 can't answer about playlists because I stopped using this device a few days after I got it. It's cheap and lacks even basic functions such as shuffle. For sure it doesn't have speakers.

I have not had any issues with the remote so far. But it also stays in a nightstand drawer when not in use. It is a dainty thing.

No it doesn't, no remote control either, but you can loop the tracks you want to hear to play over, and over. I love it!

Also, the remote is a little finicky for me and sort of redundant since the unit can come out of power saving mode with your phone and you can control the volume with your phone via AirPlay. I don't really use it.

Yes, there os a remote for it. You can control it from the remote and you phone or any machine you are playing the music with. It's great speakers.

I didn't think so. It was okay at first, it definitely works as a music player, but the limited functionality led me to ultimately buy another player and give this one away. I had a hard time shuffling music (I don't think you can) and finding certain artists. The UI isn't very intuitive.

In the instruction manual there's a remark "note: You can't use the remote to choose a different playlist. Use the IPod or IPhone controls instead." My remote has this same limitation.

Yes you can. Single click for stop/play; double for next track and triple for previous track. It does not control the volume. The remote is able to launch a music player app without the need to unlock the phone nor open the music app. Hope this helps.

Im not sure what you would classify as normal. It has the bluetooth and usb hookup, those arent on found on real cheap units. I can tell you Im happy with it. I have about 22 gigs of music and I like being able to listen to it. I will admit the remote is nice. I laughed when I saw it and thought to myself, give me a break. But Ive found I use it a lot.

I am unaware of any remote available for this device, though smartphones more or less remotely and wirelessly control it already via bluetooth. Those front buttons on the device can operate the music player controls on your smartphone and vice versa giving you two ways to control the music without wires.

If I recall, it can make playlists on the go. I returned mine. After being a Creative user for many years, I found this to be absolutely horrible.
