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:
m Choose 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:
m Choose Settings > Playback > Audio Crossfade and select On.
Note: Songs that are grouped for gapless playback play without gaps even when
crossfading is on.
