Auto Equalizer Configs?

You can assign an EQ setting to each song. For example, select all the songs of genre 'xyz', Get Info, and apply the desired EQ to all songs in one shot. Repeat as desired for other genres.

In iPods, the EQ loaded into a song is used over any EQ setting in the player. So at the next synch operation, the EQ settings should load in as desired. I believe this is also limited to the iTunes pre-defined set of EQ presets.

True, but also, the iPod's EQ must be turned on. By that, I mean that the EQ must be set to anything except for "Off". Setting it to "Flat" works best, because "Flat" is equivalent to "Off" without actually being "Off".

That way, no EQ is applied normally, but if you have per-song EQ's set, they will be used instead of the "Flat" setting.

Otto, do you know if that's true for Shuffle's as well? Without the on-unit interface - well, I don't have a Shuffle to test with.

No I don't think it is. The shuffle does not carry over any volume or EQ settings from iTunes

For EQ, you're correct. For volume, you're not. Volume settings from iTunes (the per-song volume slider) will be applied on the shuffle.

Aaah thats good to know. I knew that the sound check adjustments did not come over and assumed that any volume adjustments would follow suit. So I can now play that one deafening song on my shuffle!!!
