Hi Sandy,
If you have Albums selected and go into a particular album, for example, let's say I double tap on Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits, there is a Shuffle button right at the top above the listing of songs. If you double tap on that, the songs in that album will play randomly. The same goes for Playlists, Artists, Songs or any other view, there is always a Shuffle button at the top of the list and it will play a random selection but it will not stay switched on permanently. Now, if you are playing a song and double tap on the Album Art button it reveals a "Repeat All" button and a "Shuffle" button. If you double tap on that Shuffle button, it will say "Selected" and it will stay selected until you double tap it again and turn it off. As long as it is selected, your music will shuffle no matter what you play. You can always use the Shuffle button at the top of an album, playlist or if you select artist and "All Songs" then you also have it there. This will shuffle, but if you Pause and select another album and double tap the first song instead of Shuffle it will then play the songs in order starting with the first one. If things seem to be mixed up again, just start playing a song and make sure the Shuffle button one swipe to the right of Repeat All doesn't say Selected.

I recently complained on this list that my husband's iPod was not playing albums in order. Eventually my iPhone wasn't either. I called Apple Care about this and although the problem has been fixed I am still baffled by the man's explanation. According to the rep there is not one, but two shuffle buttons on the phone. He described the one he wanted me to change as a crisscross f arrows that changes colors when it is tapped. Fortunately, my sighted husband was here and he found it and tapped it until it was the requisite white, which means off. Orange means shuffle. The weird part is, not only was the music on my phone instantly straighten out, but so was the music on his iPod. It is as if there are two buttons: the one you tap just to shuffle an album or play list and this master switch that shuffle the entire world. Does anybody understand what I am talking about? Now I am afraid to shuffle a play list for fear I'll inadvertently trip this master switch again. Sandy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
