If
the currently selected media item/ folder contains fewer than
1000
tracks
the
NP30
generates a true random shuffie
of
those tracks and starts playback
such
that
all
are played once in a random order and then playback stops.
If
more than
1000
tracks are contained the
NP30 will
instead pick a track
at
random for playback then pick another one randomly (and without reference
to
what has gone before) once the current one has finished.
This continues until Shuffie is turned
Off.
Thus for
>1000tracks
the playback
of
any
track
may be repeated randomly.
