I bought a Toshiba Gigabeat. Excellent sound quality-better than Ipod-but for some reason, it plays songs from an album in a random order. Other than that, no problems. It has a feature where you can play ALL the songs off the player in a random order. I’ve got 143 albums on it, so I never know what’s coming when I set it to play that way. If you’re a bit of an audiophile, spend some extra money on decent earbuds. I got the Etymotic ER 4s for about $80. I consider it money well spent. I don’t sell or represent these products-they just seem to fill the bill for me.
