– Using the Artist Link feature.
– Changing the play mode.
• When you start Intelligent Shuffle play, the play mode changes to "Shuffle" or

Notes
• The controls of the player cannot be operated while a year is being selected.
• A shuffle play of all tracks begins if none of the tracks on the player have a release year
assigned to them.
• If all the tracks on the player that have a release year assigned have the same release
year, or some of tracks have the same release year and the rest of them have no released
year assigned, the player automatically plays a random shuffle of the tracks from that
year, and "Shuffle play songs released in 2005" (for example) is displayed.
• To move back through as many as the last 20 tracks played during shuffle play, press
 repeatedly. Moving back more than one track to continue playing tracks, or going
forward quickly or pressing  resets the shuffle to create a new random track order.
