Not sure why keyboard commands don't work in that mode. Be interested if you figure it out, though. Thanks for stopping by. @Cecile: I have the same issues.

I've been using the last command line and the shuffle is working. Minor problem is that the commands listed in the man pages of mplayer don't seem to work (e.g. command to go to next track or stop track). Any idea? Here's an example of the output I get find [directory] -name \*.mp3 | mplayer -playlist - -shuffle -loop 0 Reading from stdin...

You will not be able to use your remote control. Playing [file] etc.. Hi, Thanks for the tip. I've been using the last command line and the shuffle is working.
