Yes, I want to continue to build custom playlists, and listen to different mixes through all of my iPods–starting with the Shuffle.

And apparently [this is not the first time](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ipods-shuffles-and-classic-not-working-with-itunes-win-10/941671) I’ve had this issue. But I have not exhausted all of that _old_ threads recommendations, so, I’ve got some work to do…
