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.

This review is from: Apple iPod shuffle 4 GB Green (3rd Generation) OLD MODEL (Electronics) at 47 years of age my work out years are a fair bit behind me . this is my commute to work and back stereo . currently loaded with fantastic modern creative jazz and popular music . i often wear this into places to shop for film and various goods . it'll hold over 500 songs (and believe me when i say many of the jazz tracks are lengthy) . i'm not the least bit self conscious about where the volume , pause and so forth are located . i can clip it on the inner sleeve of my short sleeve shirt and just go . it's so tiny but the sound is so awesome . see , i grew up on black and white t.v. with no remote control . forgive me if i can't (simp)athize with all the detractors here . it's even ten dollars less than what i paid for it . perhaps the wily young people disliked it in order to drive the price down ? of the two ipods i own , the other being a big 60 gb horse , this one sees virtually all the action . love it . hope you do as well . NO complaints . 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By brockg (San Francisco) - See all my reviews This review is from: Apple iPod shuffle 4 GB Green (3rd Generation) OLD MODEL (Electronics) I have been a loyal user and fan of Apple products for many years, but the new Shuffle is a disaster from an ergonomic and usability standpoint. Moving all the controls to the earbuds is the problem. First, you have to use Apple earbuds to control the device and my ears don't "fit" well with them. Second, it is not easy or convenient to use the controls where they are situated. Finally, the controls had a tendency to malfunction (stop working, doing random things, etc) after they had been in use for 30 minutes or more. I got a new set of earbuds from the Apple store but problems continued. So I returned the new shuffle and have asked Santa to get me a 2nd or 3rd generation Shuffle. It is actually hard to believe that Apple built this product it is so unusable. Feels like it should have been built by Microsoft around the time that Vista was launched! 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By Run/Cycle (Corpus Christi, TX United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Apple iPod shuffle 4 GB Green (3rd Generation) OLD MODEL (Electronics) I have v1 Shuffle; I was going to buy one of the new shuffles but didn't like the idea of the requirement to use Apple's headset.. I have my own headset that is perfect for cycling and running; i.e short cord that doesn't get in the way.. After reading previous reviews, there is no way I will buy the v4 shuffle... Apple really screwed up on identifying a significant portion of their target market for Shuffles, outdoor sports... Duh! |
