Playlists and shuffle question

(1/1)

camundson:
I have a IPod Vidio. I use playlists and bookmarking.

Is there a way to have shuffle turned on for some playlists and off for others?
I like to have shuffle turned on for my music, but would like to turn it off for my audiobook playlists.

bluebrother:
No, since shuffle is a playback mode and not related to a playlist.

Lear:
The shuffle state is saved in the bookmark. I often switch between playlists (using bookmarks) where the shuffle is either on or off, and it works just fine.

camundson:
I looked thru the bookmark chapter in the manual, but don't see how I can turn on/off shuffle mode using bookmarks.
Can you give me an idea how this can be done?
and will it affect my other saved (& shuffled) bookmarks?
Thanks
Carl

Lear:
The point is that when a bookmark is saved, it includes the current shuffle state in the bookmark. When the bookmark is later selected ("played"), the shuffle state is restored.

Lets say you are listening to a book. Shuffle is off, and you create a bookmark. Later, you turn shuffle on and listen to some music. If you then resume listening to the book via the bookmark, shuffle will automatically be turned off. If you created a bookmark for the music earlier and you resume that via its bookmark, shuffle will be turned on again.

This happens automatically when you use bookmarks, so there's nothing special you need to do - apart from creating bookmarks and resume playback via bookmarks (and you can have bookmarks automatically created when you stop playback if you want).
