Click to enlarge. | 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. What's in the Box

 It's the lowest product in the iPod lineup March 18, 2010
M. Kaainoa (Honolulu, HI United States)
When purchasing a product that you interact with, I think it's important to experience it before you buy it. Just like buying a car, you test drive it before you buy it. This is usually harder for electronics because most stores like walmart, won't let you open it in the store, but heading to an Apple store is the best idea, or buy it from somewhere that has a good return policy. Also, because this is an Apple product, their products tend to have their own quirks, and this is no exception. I think knowing this will help unsatisfied customers shop better in the future.
-The headphones. Yes the headphones have poor sound quality. This is the lowest product in the iPod line. Do $20 Sony portable CD players have $150 Shure headphones included? No. Do $300 laptops come with 8" subwoofers and 4 way speakers? No. The average American consumer should know better. That being said, this is one of the few devices on the market that REQUIRE a special type of headphones to simply play, skip, or adjust the volume. This is where you love/hate Apple for doing things like this. Sony mini disc players in the 90's had this, those devices even came with inline LCD screens for showing the operation being performed, like volume up/down. Anyway, knowing before you buy is where this comes in, because it's not like Apple keeps this information a secret. The buttons are inline so you don't have to take the device out of your pocket to change the song, it's a convenience thing. You want to use your own high quality, audiophile $200 Grado cans? Why buy the Apple's cheapest mp3 player? Just sayin'. I find the quality to be somewhat poor, but I also don't expect them to be great, either. On the other hand, if you use them biking or running in traffic, it's nice they don't completely seal you from your environment because I prefer to hear a car or bike coming up behind me as a safety issue.
-The Controls. It takes getting used to, but they are not that much of a problem. You don't have to look at the device, or need to remove it from your pocket/backpack/purse, which means you can walk, jog, or do whatever without stopping. My old mp3 player required you to remove it from your pocket to change anything. I don't mind the controls
-iTunes. I remember when winamp was 2.53MB and could play pretty much all codecs at the time. *sigh* iTunes was a 76MB download for the latest version. I believe most of this bloat is from the "new user" videos and help. I do not appreciate that it takes up almost 20MB of RAM between the 3 services it loads when your PC turns on. I have turned them all off so as not to slow my PC down. I guess if having an "open source" mp3 player is critical to you, then, as above, you should have known this before acquiring this product and not get Apple products in the future. So, I find that loading mp3s is actually a little easier than my current rhapsody setup. The transfers are fast, and you have good control over your music and play lists. Now, my experience could be because Rhapsody seems to be a little buggy. I have had it installed on various computers, with clean XP installations, not from OEM pre-loads, and once in a while I can't sync this song or that, or a download error occurs, or something goes wrong general. It seems that it likes to produce error messages of no consequence. The iTunes has yet to produce an error message, so I will be glad when I no longer use RhapsodyToGo. I am at odds if I like iTunes to make a duplicate copy of every song on my hard drive, just so it can control it's own library. If you have a lot of mp3s, you will quickly get the "low on disk space" message as I did. I just copied the music to a secondary backup media knowing I have a master stored away and itunes running off a copy. Fine. At least I know where the original mp3 files are since organization is not a strong suite for me.
-As an amazon site surfer, I have found that 3rd party shuffle to regular headphone adapters seem to get really low scores. This disappoints me, because the Shuffle is capable of decent playback quality when used with a good source file, and like agreed upon above, the included 'phones are not exciting. I have found, that if I set the volume how I want it, then unplug the stock 'phones, turn it off, plug my 'phones in, turn it back on, that the music will start to play, without any control options, but play none-the-less. Problem not solved, but merely side-stepped.
Many who purchase the shuffle could be better served with a Sansa Clip+ instead. I won this product as a prize, so I'm getting used to how I can make it work for me. It's not a bad product, but you have to know what you are getting yourself into. I am also puzzled by those who purchase large SUVs or pickup trucks, then complain about the 15mpg vs 30mpg on their previous compact sedan. I feel this product should be reviewed by it's own merit, not based on what you were expecting, looking for, or just because you didn't know and now you are surprised. I am very far from being an Apple fan, and there are far more capable products out there, but the Shuffle does a good job at the limited amount of things that it does (except the low end headphones, so minus one star. I left the other stars up there because the player itself actually produces good quality sound).
 Wow. I hate this. March 17, 2010
Marie Scanlan (Roseville, CA)
Wow. This is the most useless waste of an iPod. You can't use headphones because the CONTROLS are on their headphones. Right by the ear..?!!?! You can't really do much of ANYTHING, use it in the car or as you sleep (no timer) so pretty much I just wasted my credit card reward points for nothing!!!! Wish I bought it.. I'd just return it
 Horrible redesign to a product that was great to begin with March 15, 2010
L. Bui (Atlanta, GA)
I wish I read all the reviews for the new shuffle before I bought mine, but have had nothing but trouble with it. I finally called Tech support and determined that the problem was caused by sweat getting into the control box on the headphones. I bought the shuffle mainly for working out, but apparantly the new design does not account for people sweating when working out!!! The Tech support told me the only fix was to cover the control box either with plastic wrap or saran wrap to prevent sweat from get into the unit while still being able to control the shuffle. I understand the unit is only for working out but having to wrap the control box makes it look horrible. I asked if Apple has any plans to release new headphones that were better sealed to prevent this from happening and the quick answer was "NO". There is a solution for Apple....go back and produce the previous generation which everyone loved! I have finally given up and wrapped the control box in saran wrap with tape at each end and the unit seems to be working fine now!
Symptoms included: 1) songs skipping 2)voiceover keeps interrupting the song to inform you of playlist, artist, and title of song (even if you disable this feature in iTunes) 3) volume keeps decreasing to an extremely low level 4) unable to skip to next song.
 Great for Small Unit March 13, 2010
Serf Man (Seneca, SC USA)
When these were first available we tried it and it was so good that we wanted another one when the capacity (GB)increased.
Not for running March 11, 2010

This product suffers from a fatal flaw. It is sensitive to moisture so if you are buying it for running then think again. I bought it primarily to listen while running long distances. It worked for exactly 5 runs. On my 6th (half marathon), the headphone controls completely freezed! Now it doesn't respond at all so no way to increase or decrease volume and no way to advance or choose the playlist that you want to listen to. Look up the discussions on this product on the apple website by people who have had similar problems. The list of people suffering from faulty headphones is ever growing. Buy this product if you are ready to deal with this problem. Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL
