Hello,
Thanks for this post, the best buy sales person was wrong then when she said
that the shuffle mode could not be turned off.
Be that as it may, I don't know that I would want to invest in a unit, where
if I want to find a particular song, I would be relegated to having to
listen to the start of each song to find it.
In a card which has MP3 music files, the book port tells you which folder
and which file you are pointing to.
Just my opinion.
Otto

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I wanted to answer these questions onlist
since they were posted here. Also, I wanted to invite anyone who has
questions about the Shuffle to write to me privately at armatney@xxxxxxxxxxx
so as not to clutter the BP list.
Grant asked about files and folders. Basically, with the Shuffle, you don't
put files into sub-folders, really. Blind and sighted guys alike navigate
through the Shuffle in the same way: By pressing the "next track" key and
listening to the result.
Jim asked how to turn off the shuffle mode. There is a slide-switch on the
back that has three positions: off, order, and shuffle. Well, I don't
remember how it is actually labeled, but that is what they are. The position
closest to the headphone jack is the off position. The middle position plays
the tracks in order. The last position shuffles the tracks.
I got my Shuffle with an audible.com membership at a discounted price, and I
think it's worth what I paid for it. I don't actually use it for audible.com
material at all, though; I save all of that for the Book Port and use the
Shuffle for music.
Later,
Angie
