Shuffle mode? Is there any way to make it shuffle play the music files on your SD card?

Please format your SD card after backup your songs with FAT32 file system.And then create a folder and name it SoundflyAnd place all your files and folders into this Soundfly folder.Please make sure total number of folders should be not more than 99.Please make sure all your music files are either MP3 or WMA format without any protection.If you still have problems please contact us.ArthurSatechi Technical Supportsupport@satechi.com

The "Shuffle" option plays the exact same playlist each time the Soundfly is powered on. Mine begins with 1638, 1759, 1829, 0603, 0528, 1537, 1534, etc. Is there any way to change this order? It's sad to have over 2000 songs on a 16GB SD card and hear the same songs over and over (and over, and over). I can't believe a product that is excellent in so many ways could be lacking a way to randomize songs. I wouldn't like this with audio books, but for music I would think it's preferred. Thanks!

yes it has shuffle function. I read some complaints from other viewer saying that it doesn't shuffle all musics when they have a lot of musics in it. For me personally I don't shuffle musics but I create different folders and use folder play depending on the mood. It is totally up to your choice.

Yes, it does. The "Shuffle" feature is easily activated in the menu settings.

Don't use that option much but..I believe you need to find the category marked "settings" and there should be a sub-category marked "shuffle"-HTH.

That is correct. You can simply put a microsd card in the headphones that contains your mp3s, and the headphones will allow you to play them. The only issue I have had with this is that it plays them in order. You can skip to the previous and the next mp3, but I have found no way to jump to next album, or to play random. This has lead me to the conclusion that I either need to put less on the sd card, or randomize the order on the card, as I don't always want to listen to them one album at a time.

Although I haven't used it yet, I have an app called AppMgr that will do that. Why haven't I used it? Using the SD card for music, not apps...:-)

no shuffle. fat32 only as far as I can tell. manual is not useful. sketchy support for mp3 at best. Bluetooth works great though!

You can scroll through the songs, but there is no shuffle feature. What I sometimes do is create a folder with various songs I like and load it onto the player. That's as close to a shuffle as you can get with this unit.

According to the manual there is a random play mode with mp3. I have never used it myself.

Nope, it doesn't even shuffle. Its "touch screen" is really a screen that only responds to a little stylus that comes with the player and that doesn't work well either. this thing is pretty crappy. i wouldn't waste the money. for about the same money, i picked up a Sandisk MP3 player that is much better. it's only a little bigger than an ipod nano, it fits on the armband that i used with my nano and it has lasted a lot longer. plus, it has an sd slot to add memory. the eclipse is junk. stay away from it.

Yes it does. The thing is, it has separate directories for the built in flash memory and the additional SD card that you can add. As a result, you won't be able to shuffle all of the songs that are saved directly to the player as well as the ones you've put onto the SD card. Anyway, I find the shuffle of pretty bad quality, because it frequently plays the same files over and over leaving a good portion of my playlist as good as forgotten after a while of using just shuffle mode. Of course, it takes a while to hear the same one over again, but with over 7 gigs of music on it like I had, you will still be able to notice especially after listening continuously over daily commutes. If you get this player you'll see what I mean.

I'm sorry, I just read the other responses. I thought you were referring to the capability to 'shuffle the songs.' I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It worked for my playlists. Unfortunately I have it in my classroom and wont be able to try it until Monday, August 5, 2013.

Yes there is a shuffle function. It is very easy to use. You just press and hold the button and it will let you know it's on shuffle.

It does, open a song from the directory your mp3's are in then in the bottom left corner of the player is a cog looking icon tap that and you can change the shuffle repeat and the like there.

yes it is similar to an apple ipod in this sense. it will never play the same track twice in random unless you completely played all your songs in the shuffle

It has a shuffle button, it is supposed to. We had bad luck with the unit, probably cause we did not know how to run it

Ok Jan! My guess you are really talking about "shuffle mode". This mode ramdomly goes from one song to song to another, but not in the order you have them in. It appears that your player is jumping around from song to song. Check it out. See if you are in the setting " Random Shuffle Mode". If it is! GET OUT OF IT! Hope this helps!
