iPod shuffle: The First Music Player that Talks to You
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 2 GB and 4 GB capacities. So you have plenty of room to store hours and hours of music--up to 1,000 songs with the 4 GB model.2 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 Color
The anodized aluminum enclosure makes iPod shuffle sleek and durable. It's even more colorful in gleaming pink, blue, green, black, or silver. And making its debut: the special edition iPod shuffle in polished stainless steel (Talk about rock star treatment). 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. And yes, there's still room for personalized engraving.
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.

The price is right for this little jewel. It makes a wonderful second iPod for work. I can clip this to my collar and the device and headsets stay out of the way. The only complaint was the propriatary headset, but Belkin has a work around with their adaptor. The price on amazon is the big thing.

I was hesitant after reading all the bad reviews, but I have had mine for several months now with no problems whatsoever. I use it at the gym, running, commuting on the train. The controls do take a little finesse and care, but nothing dramatic. The size is amazing - its very convenient and for once I don't have to buy a case for an apple product.

First off i won this from my work place
Pros
- Slim and sleek design
- Clip is a nice addition
- Easy to use
Cons
- ear phones
- cord length
- ear phone design
Good for working out. Just be weary of the cord length. Best spot to place it is on a bicep band or bandana wrapped around the arm and on the sleeve of a cut off. I don't use it as my everyday ipod, i have a 3rd gen nano for that. The remote is fine, i haven't had problems with it yet. But due to all the bad reviews basing them off the crap quality of the remote. Ear phones are ok as in sound is fine but the right ear phone won't stay in place when running or at all. It likes to fall out and if i wrap it over the ear, the remote gets in the way. Voice over is nice but the shuffle likes to play a lot of the same songs over and over again. To remind the readers of this review. The shuffle is supposed to be simple and easy to use, take into consideration you are buying something that shouldn't be used everyday. The customers this type of mp3 player is aimed at are people who walk alot or run alot or work out alot that want something simple that plays music. Btw if you do buy the shuffle, just a reminder to read a lot of reviews on remote headphone adapters for the shuffle before you buy them. I'm frugal so i like to save as much money as i can anywhere i can.
Suggestions for the next gen
- longer cord for the ear buds
- better ear bud design, would prefer apple's in-ear ear buds ( for the price of the shuffle)
- better placement of remote
- micro usb or micro version of original ipod jack to the bottom, would be nice because i want to use my nike+ thing on the shuffle
- have a remote adapter so that we consumers aren't stuck with a useless mp3 player when the original headphones die
- have trusted brands make sturdy solid functioning remote adapters
- charge less for apple's and the worlds most basic mp3 player
- remote with a screen? (may be overkill on their main idea of simplest mp3 player)
- belkin sucks, i don't recommend their products with apple or at all, it is sad that for how much belkin is pushing their products i see no improvement in quality or longer life of function.

Sweat while exercising? This IPod is not sealed well enough. Moderate sweat from exercise destroyed this product within a month. No Ipod I have previously owned has been this bad.

I already own the 2nd generation, and love it, but my husband wanted and iPod also. I read all the reviews warning not to buy the 4th generation iPod shuffle. I still decided to buy it, because I like that you can put different playlists on it, because I play my music over the speakers at work, and not all my songs are work appropriate. With my 2nd generation, I was having to switch the music all the time, and didn't always have the songs I wanted. So, with the warnings in mind, I purchased the control adapter cord before it even arrived so I could control my music wherever I plugged it in (I hate iPod earbuds anyway). I also bought the silicone case to protect it. It seems to be pretty sturdy, and once you figure out the controls, its super easy to use. Just be ready to drop an extra $20 on an adapter cord for the controls if you plan on listening to it with anything other than the iPod earbuds.
