Music and Other Audio

The high-resolution Multi-Touch display makes listening to songs on iPod touch as
much a visual experience as a musical one. You can scroll through your playlists, or use
Cover Flow to browse your album artwork.

You can listen to audio from the internal speaker, headphones attached to the
headphones port, or Bluetooth stereo headphones paired wirelessly. When
headphones are attached or paired, no sound comes out of the speaker.

WARNING:

For important information about avoiding hearing loss, see the Important

Product Information Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipodtouch.

Playing Songs and Other Audio

You can browse content on iPod touch by playlists, artists, songs, videos, and other
categories, or browse your album artwork using Cover Flow. Playlist folders, which you
can sync from iTunes, let you organize playlists into groups.
Browse your collection: Tap Playlists, Artists, or Songs. Tap More to browse Albums,
Audiobooks, Compilations, Composers, Genres, iTunes U, Podcasts, or Videos.

You can replace the browse buttons at the bottom of the screen with buttons you use
more frequently. See “Changing the Browse Buttons” on page 67.
Get more podcast episodes: Tap Podcasts (tap More first, if Podcasts isn’t visible), then
tap a podcast to see a list of episodes. Tap “Get More Episodes…” to see a list of more
episodes in the iTunes Store.
Browse Genius Mixes: Tap Genius (tap More first, if Genius isn’t visible). If Genius
doesn’t appear, you need to turn on Genius in iTunes, and then sync iPod touch with
iTunes. See “Using Genius on iPod touch” on page 59.
Play a song: Tap the song.
Shake to shuffle: Shake iPod touch to turn shuffle on and change songs. Shake
anytime to change to another song.

You can turn Shake to Shuffle on or off in Settings > Music (it’s on by default). See
“Music” on page 167.
