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.

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

Although I've never used the random/shuffle mode, it seems that this little gem can play mp3s in random mode. Their instruction sheet tells how to select/deselect "Radom play" [I believe they meant 'Random play'].

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.

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.

The IPod shuffle holds 600-700 songs. It allows for all songs in random order. It also allows you to have playlists you can set up on ITunes. Thetefore, you can put any number of songs and artists on each playlist.

I put my ipod on shuffle and just hit next and it doesn't play the next song in order. You can still hit next when the head unit is in ipod control mode, so there's really no reason to put it in head unit control mode

i have a older mp3 and it has a shuffle option and that's great but it plays the songs in the same shuffle order every time. sounds funny I have 900 songs in mine but have listened to it for so long I can almost tell u what song is coming on next!

Yes, it does have a shuffle play. It requires pressing one of the buttons (I believe its Mode) until you enter that mode. There is no audible or visual indicator about the mode, so you have to use trial and error.In addition, if the SD card is inserted when you turn the speaker on, it will play sporadically. Simple eject the SD card and re-insert it and the speaker will play normally.

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 it does. Under the system section, music settings, then the repeat mode and there you have the choice of repeat mode, shuffle mode, or EQ select.
