I never use "random" on a single CD player.
I (still) have a 5 disc CD/DVD changer that sees rare use that I use random on.
Otherwise I use streaming audio for mixes.

I suppose there will always be options that are wished for. I'd never even heard of this, but someone in another thread wanted a volume control on the ERC. Anyway, a random play is not my cup of tea, and I'm happy with the feature set.

I used random on certain CDs, now I use random on my Ipod. I know I like the music in my Ipod, but if I don't use random I'll never hear all the songs, it takes a long time to listen to 1,200 songs starting from the beginning every time. ;D It may be too late, but it doesn't seem like it would have been hard to implement in the ERC, but what do I know.  And as long as it doesn't affect the sound, I say why not.  |

Well, a lot of single disc player do have random play so u don't have to listen to the same sequence all the time.

I can't really think of a time I wanted random play with a single disc player

I actually never noticed that this feature was missing. Guess I don't need it.

Not on a single cd player. I have this on my automobile cd players and never use it.

I can't really think of a time I wanted random play with a single disc player Since the ERC also plays MP3 cd's, and some of us actually use that functionality on occasion, then random would come in quite handy. |

You could burn the MP3's to disc randomly. ;D

Random play is a feature that I always used on my cdp and have certainly missed on the ERC-1. I love random because sometimes I get bored of the order of the songs. Some songs on cds are made to be played in order (Beatles White lp--classical works, etc.) and some don't--greatest hits, my own compilation. So the random feature broke the monotony. Also, there are times that I just want to listen to a few songs by the artist and without random I always heard the first 4 songs and then removed the cd--with random I got 4 different songs (well, sometimes the same 4 in different order.  ) Anyway, now I just start the cd on the 4th, 7th, or 10th song (or at the halfway mark on the cd) and then select the repeat cd. I realize that I can't do automatic random play on my turntable and that is why the cd deck with random play was such a welcome feature. |

Random is like a condom, don't like to use it. If I want one (random or condom), I go to the internet music streaming files or iPod...  * But that's just me and my unorthodox mentality... |
