Guys, a question:
I am looking to get one of those Clip+ players I've managed to test one in a local electronics store and I've found one think that bugged me.
Let's say that I have a full memory worth of MP3s playing on random. I'm jogging on the sunny day, the music's playing gently one song after the other, everything is pretty and beautiful. Suddenly I realize that I feel like I'd like to listen to one particular song I have on my player. So I enter the menu, navigate to the song through the Artist -> Album -> Song submenus and select it to play.
And now it's the funny thing - when I tried such thing on the Clip I was toying with, it suddenly 'forgot' that I have other MP3s on the device, and when the selected song ended it didn't go to the next (random one from the memory). It just stopped at the end of the song and I had to enter the menu and select "play all" from the menus. My old iRiver didn't behave like that - when it was set to 'random' it just shuffled to the next song even if the song which just ended was selected manually.
My question: I didn't had much time in store to assess the situation properly, so I ask you: if this behaviour is normal or is it a bug in the early firmware? Is there a way to acheve the aforementioned 'iRiver-style behaviour' on the Clip?
