remote with mp3 random function?

[blackwolf]

I've been reviewing hordes of dvd players with mp3 playing capabilities and have yet to find concrete specs on any unit that comes with a RANDOM PLAY feature for MP3's on the remote control....anyone know of a unit with this feature???
any help would be mucho appreciated........thanx

it's not on the remote but i believe the apex 660 supports the random feature.

you can however, select it from a menu by using the remote.

actually it has a shuffle button and i believe that is the eqivilant of random.

Suppose youve found out by now, but....I was looking for the same feature and found Pioneer 444 was offering all the functions I asked for, random play even in catalogues. Go for it!

The following players can properly shuffle MP3s:

Apex 660
Apex 700
Apex 1500
Apex 5131
Daewoo DVG-3000N
Haier 700

Please note, however, that shuffling is limited to one folder at a time (you can't shuffle across multiple folders.)

I believe that the Apex 660, Apex 700, and Haier 700 have a separate "SHUFFLE" button on the remote. The Apex 1500 and Apex 5131 definitely have this button.

On the Daewoo DVG-3000N, it is necessary to push the "REPEAT" button (it specifically says "PRESS REPEAT FOR PLAY MODE" on the screen) in order to switch between the various play modes, which includes Shuffle.
