Where is Shuffle feature in Itunes 11 or how do I downgrade back to Itunes 10?

Upgraded to Itunes 11 and now the SHUFFLE feature won't work with my playlists. How to I get it to work or how do I downgrade to earlier version of Itunes. Not happy with Apple right now... Any help is much appreciated!

thank you for the reply. This does work when I am listening to Itunes on my computer; however, is there a way for me to Shuffle my playlist while on my Ipod? I have the Classic Ipod. I am just tired of the list on my Ipod and would like to change it up a bit with the shuffle feauture. thanks again for your quick response...much appreciated!!!

Of course!


Either:

  • While a song is playing, press the Select (centre) button three times. You will see the "choose shuffle" option. Simply scroll the wheel to either Songs or Albums and press the Select button to activate it. You will then see the Shuffle icon in the top right of the screen. Or -
  • While the iPod is not playing anything, you can still turn on the Shuffle option. Go to Settings/Shuffle and each time you press the Select button, it will toggle the Shuffle between Off, Songs & Albums. Choose the option you want. Then navigate to the Plylist you want, but instead of entering the list, simply highlight the Playlist name and press the Play button. The iPod will chosoe a song from that Playtlist at random and then continue to play the remainder of that Playlist.


You may notice an option on the Main Menu and the Music Menu for Shuffle. (It may not be on there, it can be turned off.) Be aware that this particular choice will simply start Shuffle from "a song on the iPod", not from a specific Playlist. Use the methods above to play from a specific Playlist.
