I guess shuffle doesn't mean what I thought it means.

I have 5700 songs on a flash drive set to shuffle but still I hear the same 12 or so way more than any others. There is nothing random about it.

Did you possibly rate any of them?

x_man586 · Dec 10, 2015

Not likely. Not the ones that play the most.

It might depend on your file structure. I had a unit do the same thing and turned out it ignored any songs over the 99/folder limit. I ended up just creating more folders and limited each to 99 songs. For the short time my 'stang was on the road I used a 32GB flash drive with 3500 songs and never heard a repeat (GT Premium)

Could be. I have certain artists with over a hundred songs each. When I play just them it is random.

Also, I no longer do the massive folders. My file structure is Artist/Album/Songs, so never more than an albums worth of songs in each folder.

I dragged and dropped all my songs from iTunes so I have NO folders on my USB drive.

I have the same structure and I get maybe 6 random songs and then it continues playing whatever album the 6th song is from???
