Using VoiceOver

and artist names, and announcing playlists for you to choose from. VoiceOver also tells you

To hear these announcements, enable VoiceOver in iTunes. You can enable VoiceOver when you
first set up iPod shuffle, or do it later. VoiceOver is available in selected languages.
You set VoiceOver options on the Summary tab in iTunes. The following tasks describe how to
turn on and customize VoiceOver.
