Playing Songs at the Same Volume Level
The volume of songs and other audio may vary depending on how the audio was 
recorded or encoded. The volume level may also vary if you use different earphones  
or headphones.
You can set iTunes to automatically adjust the volume of songs, so they play at  
the same relative volume level. Then you can set iPod nano to use the same iTunes  
volume settings.
To set iTunes to play songs at the same volume level:
 
1
  In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences if you’re using a Mac, or choose Edit > Preferences 
if you’re using a Windows PC.
 
2
  Click Playback and select Sound Check, and then click OK.
To set iPod nano to use the iTunes volume settings:
If you haven’t turned on Sound Check in iTunes, setting it on iPod nano has no effect.
 
1
  On the Home screen, tap Settings.
 
2
  Tap Music.
 
3
  Tap 
 next to Sound Check to turn it on. 
Using the Equalizer
You can use equalizer presets to change the sound on iPod nano to suit a particular 
music genre or style. For example, to make rock music sound better, set the equalizer 
to Rock.
To set the equalizer on iPod nano:
 
1
  On the Home screen, tap Settings. 
 
2
  Tap Music, and then tap EQ.
 
3
  Tap an equalizer preset (flick up to see more choices).
If you assigned an equalizer preset to a song in iTunes and the iPod nano equalizer is 
set to Off, the song plays using the iTunes setting. For more information, open iTunes 
and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Crossfading Between Songs
You can set iPod nano to fade out at the end of each song and fade in at the 
beginning of the song following it.
To turn on crossfading:
 
1
  From the Home screen, tap Settings. 
 
2
  Tap Music, and then tap 
 next to Audio Crossfade.
