I am a field biologist trying to set two tracks (silence and a song) to shuffle and repeat indefinitely. I want to be able to have it playing for 10 or 12 hours a day (i’ll use a timer for that). It would be ideal if the tracks shuffled so they weren’t in a pattern of 1-2-1-2-.
Can you tell me how to do this? I tried turning both tracks on to repeat, and shuffle. But the Clip Jam just plays one each and then stops.
thanks!!
I tested the following advice using my Clip Sport with three mp3 audio files.
(I could not get two files to work as you described.)
FOLDER MODE
-
Put at least three repeating / shuffling mp3 files in a specific subfolder inside the Music folder.
-
Use the Folder Menu to select the specific subfolder.
-
Then select one mp3 for immediate play.
-
Then press the “Options” menu button (below the oval shaped large button).
-
Then select Repeat -> All AND Shuffle -> On
MUSIC MODE
-
Make sure all your repeating / shuffling mp3 files have the same “Album” name in the ID3 tags.
-
Use the Music menu to select the specific “Album” name.
-
Then select one mp3 for immediate play.
-
Then press the “Options” menu button (below the oval shaped large button).
-
Then select Repeat -> All AND Shuffle -> On
BONUS IDEA
Maybe create a short “silent” mp3 file (with the specific “Album” in the ID3 tag) to be your audio file #3 ??

OR, Maybe put two copies of each of the two mp3 files into the specific subfolder, as described above.
