shuffle - artist - shuffle

[timhale99]

Hi, does anyone know if the A2 (or indeed any cowon music player) can do this ?

If the player is playing on full shuffle mode (playing all songs at random) exactly what buttons need pressing to switch to "play all songs in the current folder", and then back again afterwards..

Assuming that songs on the player are organised in folders by artist, full shuffle mode will jump around all over the place. What I want to do - with minimum button pushing - is to press a button to just play songs from the artist that is currently playing, then go back to shuffle mode when I get bored with him or her.

The iriver H340 & H120 can do this with the push (several times) of one button, but I am looking for a smaller (ideally flash based) player that is quick to start up, and can do it.

As I use the player in the car a lot, it needs to be quick & easy, - one button only ideally, so I don't have to take my eyes off the road to do it.


thanks for any suggestions.
