I often alternate between listening to FM radio and listening to MP3s in random shuffle mode. Setting a preset button for my favorite FM station was easy, but coming up with a "random" preset was a little trickier without having to listen to the same first song every time. Here's a solution I've come up with. Using an audio editing program (eg. Sound Forge, etc.), I made an MP3 consisting of just 3 seconds of silence, and saved that as the preset. Anything much shorter than that makes it difficult for the preset to "take". My usual random tunes are in a playlist subset of the whole collection on the player, so as long as "Blank.mp3" is in that playlist (and I'm still in shuffle mode without navigating back out to the Songs level), pressing that preset will always start with a random tune within that playlist in a couple of seconds.

Good idea.

Procrastination is the key to flexibility.
