In my '13 TC I use a 16GB USB drive for all music playback.

I have a bunch of folders with different podcasts, and one folder with a huge amount of songs.

I selected the songs for playback, and used shuffle, hoping that pressing next would result in only the current folder (songs) being shuffled and played.

Unfortunately, looks like when you press next, it actually goes to a random track in any folder on the whole drive.

Anyone know of a way to restrict shuffle to only the current folder? Is there an option for this, or can you setup folders in a way that will cause this to happen?

Thanks for any info!

 

If I remember correctly just pressing 4, or 5 will set as random, while holding the same button will result in complete library shuffle. Idk what number it is but it's labeled as rand or something of that nature

 

Doh! That's exactly how it works... When I was first trying it, I short pressed and didn't see that it shows the folder icon, so I long pressed until it beeped. I just assumed you had to long-press to get shuffle to work at all.

Oops.
