iPod Shuffle 4th Gen. / 2012 Edition (2 GB)
Switch podcast/playlist
Press the VoiceOver button until you hear the name of the podcast/playlist and press Play to switch to another podcast/playlist.
Pressing Next/Fast-Forward (or Previous/Rewind) button does not work. iPod Shuffle probably sees every podcast as a playlist, because podcasts consist of episodes (or audio files).
iPod Shuffle probably sees every podcast as a playlist, because podcasts consist of episodes (or audio files).
Find the right podcast
If you have 6 podcasts and you try to listen to number 6, press the VoiceOver button and wait. You really need to wait until you hear the countdown voice say the correct one, because every time after switching to another podcast (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) the voice countdown begins from the first podcast ("podcast one... podcast two... podcast three...")!
Synchronize podcasts
Do not use "[x] Sync Podcasts" with "[x] Automatically include (...)" setting, because you can't choose, which single podcasts you want to add to iPod Shuffle.
