Shuffle


 * This article refers to the feature on all iPod models. For the specific model of this name, see iPod shuffle.

The shuffle feature is a means of randomizing the play order of audio files upon an iPod. Songs (the entire song archive), albums, or playlists can be selected, and when shuffle is toggled on, the iPod will mix up the order-of-play within that album or playlist.

Shuffling became so beguiling of a feature, it gave rise to the iPod shuffle model.
