Clip on and Rock Out in Three New Colors
Clip
Thanks to a built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip it to your sleeve, your running shorts, or your jacket. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks volumes about your style.
Controls
iPod shuffle pays respect to its bigger siblings with a circular control pad that puts the "go" in ergonomic. Click the center button to play and pause. Click the outer buttons to move back, skip forward, and adjust the volume. iPod shuffle is so easy to use, you can control it with one hand--even without looking.
Battery Indicator
Green means go, amber means you're low, and red means you've almost hit zero. But with up to 12 hours of battery life, iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do.
Shuffle Switch
Whatever happens, happens. Mix up your music with a flip of the shuffle switch. Flip it again to play your handpicked playlists, workout mixes, and albums in the order you synced them with iTunes.
Dock Connector
iPod shuffle comes with a dock that makes it easy to connect to your Mac or PC for a quick charge or sync. Add a playlist or let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle with songs chosen randomly from your music library. You'll always be surprised by what it picks.
Put a Little Music On--Then Take Off
It's easy to wear, easy to use, and remarkably small--which makes a huge difference at the gym, on a run, or on the go.

| I picked the Shuffle for my wife because she wanted an simple music player, had no interest in pictures or videos, and needed a device that was easy to sync with straightforward software. I have experience with several MP3 players used on Windows platforms, and I knew she would be frustrated with the downloading issues. The Shuffle works perfectly. It is easy to sync with iTunes, it is very compact and can be clipped to a T-shirt, it holds plenty of music for her purposes, and the sound quality is great. If you want just music, a compact device, and simple operations, the Shuffle is for you. |

| I already have an iPod classic that's large enough to fit my 10,000 song collection onto it. I purchased the new iPod shuffle because I got really tired of holding onto my chunky Classic when trying to go running, and the sleak clip-on design of the Shuffle was just what I needed. I have no complaints. I essentially use it to play a specific playlist that I've developed in iTunes so I don't need a screen to tell me what I'm listening to. And I don't need it to be able to hold 1000 songs since I only go through about 10-20 in one workout period.
The volume goes as high or as low as I need it. There is a toggle switch to turn the "shuffle songs" feature on or off which is nice so that I don't get tired songs being played in the same order over and over again. The overall usability is just as simple as I need it to be while I'm jogging. It's clipped onto my pants or my sleeve or my pocket and I can quickly press whatever button I need to take care of business without having to break my stride. And I've never had it come off which is what I was worried about the most. The only thing that didn't work for me was the earbuds. They tend to hurt my ears, and when running they work their way out of my ears completely. So I just invested in a pair of earbuds that wrap around my ears. Some folks have issues with the fact that you can only charge it through a computer. This has not been a problem for me seeing as I update the playlist often and the shuffle recharges while I'm doing that. But the battery rarely runs down regardless. I highly recommend this product if you're just looking for a simple, inexpensive MP3 player to have on your body without it getting in your way. It's worth every dime. |

| I am a Senior citizen and not familiar with the new electronic gadgets
or computers that are on the markets these days. Not to mention afraid to venture in this direction. Well I decided to step out of the box and join a gym, get in shape and get a computer. Then I found out about the Apple Ipod shuffle, just what I needed for the gym. Had a little trouble figuring out how to put music on it, but Apple Support Centre helped me and now I can help my other senior friends as they all want an Ipod now that they have seen mine. I just love the compact size and the music is clear and it inspires me to walk. |
