[iTunes] Prespecifying shuttle and equalization

[Adam Bass]

Hi Scott,

In answer to your first question, I'm not sure I understand you  
correctly. Is there a specific playlist you always want shuffled? In  
that case, I believe you do have to activate Shuffle mode in the iPod  
Settings, but once you put it on shuffle, it should stay that way  
until you turn it off. If you just want to shuffle all your music, on  
the 3rd and 4th gen iPods with the latest software update, there  
should be an option on the main screen to "Shuffle Songs", which  
automatically shuffles all your songs.

Regarding your second question, you can set each individual song to a  
certain equalization setting in iTunes, and this setting transfers  
over to the iPod. Just make sure that on the iPod, you have the  
equalizer set to Flat, and it'll automatically set itself to the  
equalizer that you set for each individual song in iTunes.

Hope that helps!

Adam
