    Listen to random albums?

    I would like to listen to albums at random, but listen to the individual songs on each album in order. I can't seem to find any way to do this. Did I miss an option somewhere?

    Add album to playlist by selecting album name and pressing and holding enter until it blinks. Apply this to multiple albums. Go into PLAYLIST and play the list with REPEAT ALL and RANDOM OFF.

    Ah that helps somewhat. But the albums aren't really played in random order, right? They'd just be played in whatever order I added them to the playlist?

    Yes, but why would someone want to play an album randomly... not just the songs... I don't really see the meaning behind that.

    Well, the iPod does it, so it can't be that weird. I just don't like having to manually go in and pick what I want to listen to. I want it to keep playing music constantly without me going in and having to tell it what to play. I like to listen to the songs on a given album in their original order, but I want the albums to just keep shuffling indefinitely. What's so crazy about that?

    lol, you really cant satisfy everyone haha. I dont think that feature is implemented into the M6. If that was the basis of your purchase then perhaps you should have done more thorough research beforehand.
    Current Rigs:
    8GB iAudio 7 > Not in use
    4GB + 32GB iAudio D2 > Alessandro MS-Pro
    Sony MZ-NH1 > Headroom Total Bithead > Grado Labs PS-1
    2GB Meizu M6 T1 > Not in use
    8GB iPod Touch 2G > Shure SE530

    I don't think this is weird but quite sensible. But I don't think it is implemented. I'd give a lot for an open-sourced firmware. There are LOTS of things I'd like to implement (AND I'd really like to know what they programmed that makes it take more than 15 minutes to load a playlist with about 1000 songs and why it is much shorter if I select the same amount of songs from a folder but it still takes about 20 seconds... sorry for ranting.)
