Can my iPod be more like my iTunes?

I don’t think there’s a segue setting for the iPod as there is for iTunes. The segue feature on iTunes drove me nuts, that’s why I turned it off.

myTunes has settings?

it does, Cmd+, on a mac Ctrl+, on windows.

It’s called “crossfade playback.”

“iPod does not support crossfade playback and only some iPod models support gapless playback. For those models that do, all files that support gapless playback are played gaplessly whether or not the “Part of a gapless album” option is checked.”
