You could make a very short mp3 file that is silence. Then the random play may work right. You'll have to name the song of silence _Silence or whatever it takes to be first on the song play list.

I've got an mp3 of a Harley reving up. That might just confuse me though and I'd lift my feet, thinking I'm moving. :D

thanks I'll give that a try but would that just start the other in the second position ?

When I call up the Media player on my Z665 and select random play the first mp3 is always the same, but every time I select random, I get different 2nd and 3rd song titles listed as next songs to play. When I exit Media Player and reenter it, I get different random mp3s after the same first one. When I power off/on and go to Media player, again, different random order.
