Setting Songs to Play at the Same Volume Level

iTunes can automatically adjust the volume of songs, so they play at the same relative volume level. You can set iPod nano to use the iTunes volume settings.

To set iTunes to play songs at the same sound 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, and then click OK.

To set iPod nano to use the iTunes volume settings:

mChoose Settings and set Sound Check to On.

If you haven’t activated Sound Check in iTunes, setting it on iPod nano has no effect.

Using the Equalizer

You can use equalizer presets to change the sound on iPod nano to suit a particular music genre or style. For example, to make rock music sound better, set the equalizer to Rock.

To use the equalizer to change the sound on iPod nano:

mChoose Settings > Playback > EQ, and then choose an equalizer preset.

If you assigned an equalizer preset to a song in iTunes and the iPod nano equalizer is set to Off, the song plays using the iTunes setting. See iTunes Help for more information.

Crossfading Between Songs

You can set iPod nano to fade out at the end of each song and fade in at the beginning of the song following it.

To turn on crossfading:

mChoose Settings > Playback > Audio Crossfade and select On.

Note: Songs that are grouped for gapless playback play without gaps even when crossfading is on.

Watching and Listening to Podcasts

Podcasts are downloadable audio or video shows you get at the iTunes Store. You can listen to audio podcasts and watch video podcasts. Podcasts are organized by shows, episodes within shows, and chapters within episodes. If you stop watching or listening to a podcast and go back to it later, the podcast begins playing from where you left off.

To watch or listen to a podcast:

1From the main menu, choose Podcasts, and then choose a show.
