Hearing Song Announcements

The VoiceOver feature can speak the current song title and artist name while you’re listening to iPod shuffle. If you don’t want to hear song titles and artist names, you can disable VoiceOver in iTunes (see “Using the VoiceOver Feature” on page 22).

To hear the current song announcement:

mClick and hold the Center button on the remote.

You hear the current song title and artist name. If you’re listening to an audiobook, you hear the book title.

You can use VoiceOver to navigate to another song when you’re listening to song announcements.

To navigate using song announcements:

ÂIf iPod shuffle is playing, click and hold the Center button to hear the current song announcement; double-click to hear the next announcement while the next song plays; triple-click to hear the previous announcement while the previous song plays.

ÂIf iPod shuffle is paused, click and hold the Center button to hear the current song announcement; double-click to hear the next announcement; triple-click to hear the previous announcement. Press the Center button to play the announced song.

Using the Playlist Menu

When VoiceOver is enabled, you can choose from a spoken menu to listen to any playlist you’ve synced from iTunes to iPod shuffle. If audiobooks and audio podcasts are synced to iPod shuffle, their titles are also read as part of the playlist menu. If VoiceOver is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
