It has now been well over a year since the last firmware update and a new one is badly needed. What is driving me crazy is the fact that the Shuffle feature leaves an awful lot to be desired. I like to have 3 to 5 artists albums on the player (from the days of all killer and no filler) and I like to listen to the Artist on Shuffle when I go for a long run. I find that within the first 30 minutes it can play a specific song 3 times. If the shuffle code is written properly you should not get a repeat until ALL the songs have played. Apple iPods do this properly. I also find that the “random” order seems to be the same order each time. I teach programming and both these problems are pretty simple fixes. My grade 11 students could program a better shuffle feature. I get the feeling though that SanDisk does not throw resources towards firmware improvements unless the upgrades fix problems like crashes, not quality issues.
