Shuffle Mode that does not rep

Question

Dear Creative Representati've,I am planning to purchase a flash based MP3 Player within the next couple of days. I am looking for a player that has a shuffle feature but that remembers not to repeat the same song until it has gone through the entire list of songs. Do any of your players have this or any similar feature that presents the repetition of songs but yet plays randomly? If so, please tell me what model or models will meet these needs.
I am currently interested in purchasing a MUVO Micro200.
Thank you,Rene Requenez

I use a Muvo TX FM, which has three shuffle-modes.
They are: Shuffle repeat, Shuffle once, Shuffle folder.
You can read the detailed descriptions for them on page 40 of the manual:

Shuffle once and Shuffle folder are described exactly as you want it to be, they even stop playing after playing all songs once in random order. Shuffle repeat keeps on playing, but I guess it does not play a song twice as long as some songs have not been played yet. (like shuffle once without stopping)
I tested Shuffle folder some minutes ago to be able to report, and it seems as if the player remembers which songs have been played, as you want it to be.
Of course I did not listen to the songs in full length, I skipped. Therefore the player did not stop after the last song and then repeated all songs, but if I did not skip the last song, it did stop!
The "V200" and "Micro N200" are technically very similar to the TX FM, so I guess they have the same features. You can look into the other manuals, but the one I found for the N200 was not as good as the obove listed. I could read that the N200 also has the 3 modes that I mentioned above, but there where no descriptions for them.
