Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
iPod shuffle now comes in five vibrant colours. It’s available in 2GB and 4GB models. And it talks.
The world’s smallest music player
To create the world’s smallest music player, we moved the controls from iPod shuffle to the earphone cord. This makes iPod shuffle smaller than ever, and the controls are right where you can reach them. So when you want to play, pause, or skip to the next tune, you don’t have to fumble for your iPod shuffle — just follow the cord and press a button.
The first music player that talks to you
VoiceOver will surely be the next big hit on your iPod shuffle. Say you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. Just press a button, and VoiceOver tells you. You can even hear the names of your playlists. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too.
Easy-access controls
The controls are located on the right earphone cord. With command central strategically placed in this more convenient location, you can navigate your music — and activate the VoiceOver feature — without taking your eyes off your run, your ride, or whatever you’re doing. iPod shuffle includes these easy-access controls, but you can also use headphones with similar controls from manufacturers like Scosche, Klipsch, V-MODA, and Belkin.
Your music library. To go
iPod shuffle is now available in both 2GB and 4GB capacities. So you have plenty of room to store hours and hours of music — up to 1,000 songs with the 4GB model. That’s a load of essentials for your workout or commute. And there’s room for multiple playlists and audiobooks, too.
Multiple playlists
You’ve probably made multiple playlists in iTunes. One for your commute. One for the gym. One for just chilling out. Now you can sync playlists on your computer with iPod shuffle, and play the perfect mix for your activity or mood. VoiceOver tells you the name of each playlist, so it’s easy to switch between them and find the one you want without looking.
Let’s talk colour.
The anodized aluminium enclosure makes iPod shuffle sleek and durable. It’s even more colourful in gleaming pink, blue, green, black, or silver. Even the iPod shuffle clip rocks. It attaches securely to your shirt, jacket, workout gear, and backpack, making iPod shuffle the perfect fashion tech-cessory.
Multiple languages
A French love song. A Spanish bolero. An Italian cantata. Your music library has songs from all over the world. That’s why VoiceOver speaks 20 different languages. So it can tell you song titles and artists in the correct languages.
To shuffle or not to shuffle
The shuffle switch has three positions. Flip it to the left, and you’ll hear your music in a refreshingly random way. Flip it to the middle, and your songs play in order. Or flip to the right to turn iPod shuffle off.
What is VoiceOver?
You’ll never hear your music in the same way again, all thanks to VoiceOver. Say you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. With the press of a button, VoiceOver tells you without interrupting your music. It’s such a simple and clever way to navigate your collection, VoiceOver is entertainment itself.
And the fun doesn’t stop with songs. VoiceOver also tells you the names of your playlists, so you can easily switch between them to find the right mix for your mood. Without having to take your eyes off your run, your ride, or whatever you’re doing.
How VoiceOver works
iPod shuffle is designed not only to talk, but to say the right things. How is this possible? First, iTunes reads your song information, then uses the VoiceOver Kit to generate the announcements for the songs, artists, and playlists. Just sync your iPod shuffle with your computer and it really speaks to you.
After you sync your iPod shuffle, the voice you hear depends on which computer system you use. If you sync your iPod shuffle with a PC or with a Mac running Mac OS X Tiger, you’ll hear the English voice included in the VoiceOver Kit. And since Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard have an amazing English voice built in, that’s the voice you’ll hear when you sync your iPod shuffle with a Mac running one of those operating systems.

The sound quality and storage capacity are superb, and I was amazed at the size. Having grown up in the era when an ordinary radio was the size of a small suitcase, this gadget seems like sheer witchcraft. My only gripe with it is the instructions. Never having used one of these before, I was starting from scratch, and expected to get a comprehensible step-by-step booklet of how to set the thing up. Instead, all there is is a basic leaflet describing "what plugs in where", and directing you to a website where apparently all will become clear. Needless to say, it doesn't, unless you're of the mindset where an instruction to "Sync content while the battery charges" is as clear as day.
The promised easy instructions never appear, and the whole process seems geared solely towards getting you to pay extra for the "pro" versions of various items of software, or buying music from the iTunes site. The process of how to load tracks which you already possess is left grudgingly towards the end of yet another online manuel which you have to download.
Once I'd gone round the same circle of sites four times asking me to download the same functions repeatedly I was ready to bin the iPod and chuck a wine bottle through the computer screen. Eventually, after much head-scratching, I found that my security settings on the computer were blocking "pop-ups" which were required to make the whole system work. Obvious, some may think, but is it beyond the wit of man to actually point this out at the start of the "easy" instructions?
Eventually, we managed to work it out, but surely the brains required to design a miracle of engineering like this could also draft instructions which the ordinary customer can use, or even understand!

I used to have an iPod nano which I used for running, but it stopped working. I thought I really wanted a shuffle and I was lucky enough to win one. But now I have one I dislike it so much I'm getting rid of it.
The tiny size is great, except I continuously lose it when it's in my bag, plus there is no way to keep the headphone wires neat so they get tangled in everything, including themselves.
The headphones themselves are very poor indeed. Mine were faulty from the beginning, i.e. sometimes the buttons to skip/repeat track didn't work at all, other times every button did the same thing, that being increase the volume! Apart from that, the earpieces were uncomfortable to use and didn't stay in my ears when running, however you're stuck with them as you need the toggle buttons built into the wire to operate the shuffle! I also didn't like having the toggle buttons on the headphones wire because I was forever hunting for them, it'd be more useful to have them on the unit itself as this should always be in the same place upon your person.
All in all, very disappointed.

A wonderfully small piece of equipment. Great for attaching to your collar and then listening to music where ever you want.
