Interesting. Can you even put it on "shuffle" to randomize it -- or are you just stuck with its haphazard order?

So I gather the sound quality is very poor? I'm not all that picky -- I'd probably just be using it to play background-type music as a way of filtering out outside sounds while I read in noisy places, not really for the purpose of music enjoyment on its own. But if it's going to be more distracting than useful even for that...
Anyone, I'd still like to hear from anyone who does use it, even if not in a die hard way.
