Setting Songs to Play at the Same Volume Level

The loudness of songs and other audio may vary depending on how the audio was recorded or encoded. You can set iTunes to automatically adjust the volume of songs so they play at the same relative volume level, and you can set iPod shuffle to use those same iTunes volume settings.

To set iTunes to play songs at the same volume level:

1In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences if you’re using a Mac, or choose Edit > Preferences if you’re using a Windows PC.

2Click Playback and select Sound Check.

To set iPod shuffle to use the iTunes volume settings:

1Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices.

3Click the Summary tab.

4Select Enable Sound Check.
