FS#901 - Shuffle option not working

I just bought my Archos Studio 20 and downloaded
Rock box which I really like. I am an average PC user.
not versed in programming or developing or anything
like that.
When I set my shuffle option to ‘Yes’ it doesn’t seem
to shuffle the songs and randomly play in playlist. I
press the + key and it merely changes in sequential
order. What do I need to do?
Also, I have the play first selected set to ‘No’ so that
the jukebox will randomly pick a song when it starts
playing. This doesn’t seem to work as it always plays
the first song in the playlist.
I am not sure if I did this correctly, but any help to
these minor problems will be so much appreciated.
Thanks again!

Scott

I’ve deleted and re-downloaded rock box and still the same
results. Is there something I am perhaps not doing
correctly? Any more help would be so appreciated and
thanks for the responses already.

Are you having problems shuffling Directories or Playlists?

If it works on Directories but not Playlists check your
Playlists. See if your Playlists play in a program such as
Winamp or Windows Media Player.

Your Playlists may be corrupted.

Sorry but Ive had no problems whatsoever with Shuffle mode
and I simply can’t understand why you are having trouble.

Jason,
Thanks so much for help. I think I was mistaken..the
playlists are shuffling..I was confused because the track #
was consecutive and that was it..the songs were being
randomized, only the # was sequential. Sorry for the
trouble. BTW..can you shuffle between all directories and
not just an individual playlist?
Also, I am not that versed in Winamp, I simply create
folders in IE..is it easier with Winamp? Thanks again for all.

glad to be of service :)

You can only shuffle within a playlist or the directory that you
are in. You can’t shuffle across different folders. You have to
make a playlist if you want to shuffle across different folders.
