Chapter 16. The Songs Remain the Same

In This Chapter

• Locating songs by artist, album, or playlist

• Repeating and shuffling songs and albums

Even though the iPod and iTunes have irrevocably changed the entertainment industry and how you enjoy music, one thing remains the same: You still play songs. You just play them with more panache on your iPod or iPhone.

You can pick any song that you want to hear at any time. You can also shuffle through songs to get an idea of how wide your music choices are or to surprise yourself or others. Browse by artist and album, select a playlist, and even create playlists on the fly — this chapter explains it all, for any iPod or iPhone. Note: If you have an iPod shuffle, everything you need to know is in the section "Playing an iPod shuffle."

It may be faster to locate albums by cover art or to find songs by searching for artist (or composer), genre, album, or playlist. You can browse your music any number of ways without interrupting the music you're playing.
