Instead, your “WALKMAN” will select an artist, album, etc. one by one and play their songs in random order. However, [All Songs] and bookmark lists are exceptions. If you start from [All Songs], your “WALKMAN” will shuffle all songs at once. If you start from a bookmark list, the selected bookmark list only will be played back and the others will not be played back.
