(*1) When [Play Mode] is set to [Shuffle] or [Shuffle&Repeat] and [Playback Range] is set to [All Range], the player will not shuffle all songs at once. Instead, the player will select an artist, album, etc. one by one and play their songs in random order. For example, if you select [Album] in the [Music] screen and select a song in an album, the player will play selected album’s songs in random order, then select the next album in the album list to play its songs in random order, and continue in such a manner. However, [All Songs] and bookmark lists are exceptions. If you start from [All Songs], the player will shuffle all songs at once. If you start from a bookmark list, the selected bookmark list only will be played back and the others will not be played back.

Note

Songs to be played back differ depending on the [Playback Range] settings [Details].
