Is there some sort of magic chant and rain-dance I need to do to get the iDrive system to play all tracks on either my iPhone or iPod on shuffle? I've tried *everything*. I tried "all tracks" then selecting "options... random"... I've tried creating a playlist in iTunes which is "all tracks/shuffle". iDrive brings up the playlist, but it's ALWAYS in alphabetical order and starts playing the songs in that order. Twice now I've been able to, entirely by chance, hit the magic combination of buttons to get it to start playing my devices on just "shuffle" or "random". But for the life of me, I couldn't tell you what it was.

So, what is the most simple, clear, and straightforward way to plug in an iPod/iPhone, and get it to play all tracks on shuffle/random?

Thanks.
