i got 2nd gen shuffle. my friend said i can set the equalizer for the song in itunes and transfer it into my ipod to play in the settings i made. but i find that there are no difference in the sound. i can set other things in itunes (eg. wher to start the song, where to end, make the song play louder) but seems like cannot set the equalizer to play in shuffle. can anybody confirm that setting equalizer has no effect in shuffle?

thx for the info but the article never mention that will it work on shuffle. or it's general for all ipods?

haha your theory is nice.
