DustMagnet Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 1) Set shuffle on 2) Play all on USB device (2nd gen iPod Nano) 3) Next track is randomized 4) Turn off car 5) Turn on car 6) USB picks up exactly where it left off 7) Next track is ordered, not randomized 8) Check shuffle - it's set to "on" 9) Select play all again - random track is started 10) Next track is randomized Ok, so the shuffle only works with the Play All mode? And Play All mode is reset when the ignition is cycled? This seems wrong to me. If it was in Play All when I turned the car off, it should remain in that mode when I turn it back on.

Darin Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I was going to post the same question until I saw your post. Nobody knows of a fix for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enormus Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Don't believe there is a fix for this right now. This seems to be how Sync works right now. For example, if I ask Sync to "Play Artist Porcupine Tree" it will start to play all songs by that artist. However, if I turn off the car and resume playback later, it starts playing the track I left off on, but the next track is the next track on the album rather than the entire song list by that artist. I'm sure it can be fixed, but I think it will require changes to the Sync system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDGESTEVEZ Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Up to yesterday I was having similar problems -as I turned my car off and then back on, the "play all" shuffle would not remain and had to say "play all" through sync to get it to work all the time. It is annoying! Well, today I tried something that seemed to work. I enjoyed getting off and on my Edge and the song that was playing was still on and the shuffle and play all remained. Sweet! This is more or less what I did, although I don't have all the steps memorized as I just did it today. 1) when I reached my destination and turned my car off, I removed my Ipod nano from sync and put it in my pocket. (note -this is what I did, you dont necessarily have to put it in your pocket or anywhere in particular). 2) after 10 - 15 (again, it does not have to be specific) minutes when I had to drive off again, I used the click wheel on my Ipod to set it to shuffle. Then I connected it back to the USB in my car. 3) I turned the AUTOPLAY function ON or ACTIVATED 4) Through SYNC I said to play all, shuffle, etc. It started working. 5) The main difference, though, is that now everytime I get on and off the car the play-all-shuffle mode stayed! I hope it stays that way! 6) hope this helps. I discovered this by accident, It is not in any manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The display doesn't work and I was showing it to my son (he thinks he can fix anything (usually does)). When he gave up and plugged it back in it started right where it had stopped and shuffled. Then the next time I start the MKX the Ipod continued to shuffle. ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
