All of my songs are properly tagged. Albums and artists are all classified.

The shuffle function from the main menu shuffles between ALL of the songs on the iPod which is rather annoying. How do I make it shuffle songs in one album only or possibly only shuffle by artist, album, genre or playlist.

Anything other than all the songs would be great.
 
Christ, it was buried in the settings menu.

I'm using the "shuffle songs" option now. Not quite sure what the "shuffle albums" one does.

Shuffle Albums is like shuffling songs... but for albums. Good if you are on a LONG trip, but otherwise pretty useless.

You can, turn on Shuffle songs in Settings (set to songs), then browse to the artist/album/genre/playlist you want to play and hit play, it will then play those songs in a random order.
