so the new iTunes is out and it includes iTunes DJ which replaces Party Shuffle (which actually had the 'insert' functionality like the empeg.) however, now they have included the ability to use it in conjunction with iTunes Remote for the iPhone and iPod touch (which you couldn't do before with Party Shuffle...so you can insert songs after the one that is playing without interrupting the song you are currently playing. I'm hoping they bring this to the regular ipods as a playlist option cause the 'on the go playlist' doesn't do this very well at all and would achieve something close to what we have had already on the empeg.
