It's stupid but it only works if you ask Siri to play a genre and it plays all the songs in that genre shuffled. I don't know what iphone 4 users do since they don't have Siri

It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.

Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to

the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.

Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.

Then you just select the Genre you want:

If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info

>Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place.

Thanks for the post but thats exactly what you cannot do in IOS7..... It was possible in the earlier versions but not here .... There are only 2 ways to hear all the songs from the same genre in IOS7 ..... One is to use Siri and ask for the genre you want to listen and it allows you to listen to all songs from that genre ..... the second option is to go to search in the music app and type your genre..... and then shuffle all songs ..... these are cumbersome options compared to the straight forward way to just choose your genre and select all songs .... Apple messed this up big time ....
