SanDisk Shuffle feature?

[loridoria]

I'm very new to all this, and I'm about to buy my first MP3 player. (I want one that will plug into the car--I assume I need to buy an accessory cord for that???--as well as wear it around the house with headphones) but my biggest concern is the SHUFFLE FEATURE. Currently, all my music is on my desktop, and when Windows Media Player plays it, it plays the same songs over and over. Not in the same order every time, but there are some songs I just never hear. I REALLY want to be sure that my new MP3 player will play ALL of the songs (eventually), in a changing, random order. Do you recommend the SanDisk for this, and if so, what model? Or should I be looking at a different brand altogether? (I can't afford to spend too much! The SanDisk seems about right, pricewise.)

(I realize that the name of this site is "anything but ipod", but I can't help wondering how the Ipod Shuffle feature compares? Of course, I probably couldn't afford it anyway.)

Thanks!!!
