How to Shuffle Songs on an iPad

Shuffling, or randomizing the play order of, an album or playlist is a common way to keep your music collection less repetitive. By shuffling music you are no longer forced to multiple songs in the order listed. While you may be accustomed to shuffling music on an Apple iPod, that task is a bit more obscure on an iPad as the feature is hidden in the Music app.
