Shuffling songs from a SD mini with adapter

[Android Central Question]

Hi. I have a Samsung Tab A 10.1 tablet and I would like to know if I am able to shuffle songs loctated on a SD card. In addition, am I able to run aditional programs simultaneously while the SD card is functoining. My memory card is a SD mini with an adapter and contains 256 GB of transferred music. I will be playing said music solely from the SD card as I do not want to bog down my tablet with that much information.

First, one post is sufficient.

Second, whether an app can play music from the SD card depends on the app. Most of them don't see the "USB-A" device that the card becomes, but some may - you'll have to try them.

Third, that also depends on the app - some of them pause when they become the background (or "not the foreground") app, some keep playing.
