Hearing Song Announcements
The VoiceOver feature can speak the current song title and artist name while you’re

disable VoiceOver in iTunes (see “Using the VoiceOver Feature” on page 22).
To hear the current song announcement:
m Click and hold the Center button on the remote.
You hear the current song title and artist name. If you’re listening to an audiobook, you
hear the book title.
You can use VoiceOver to navigate to another song when you’re listening to song
announcements.
To navigate using song announcements:
 If iPod shuffle is playing, click and hold the Center button to hear the current song
announcement; double-click to hear the next announcement while the next song
plays; triple-click to hear the previous announcement while the previous song plays.
 If iPod shuffle is paused, click and hold the Center button to hear the current song
announcement; double-click to hear the next announcement; triple-click to hear the
previous announcement. Press the Center button to play the announced song.
Using the Playlist Menu
When VoiceOver is enabled, you can choose from a spoken menu to listen to any
playlist you’ve synced from iTunes to iPod shuffle. If audiobooks and audio podcasts are
synced to iPod shuffle, their titles are also read as part of the playlist menu. If VoiceOver
is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but
not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
