Manufacturer's Description

Put some colour on

In five brilliant colours, the 1GB iPod shuffle lets you wear up to 240 songs1 on your sleeve. Or your lapel. Or your belt. Clip on iPod shuffle and wear it as a badge of musical devotion.

One size fits all

You know what they say about good things and small packages. But when something 4.1cm long  and just over 1cm deep holds up to 240 songs, “good” and “small” don’t cut it. Especially when you can listen to your music for up to 12 continuous hours.2 In fact, iPod shuffle just may be the biggest thing in small.

Ready to wear

Clip it to your coin pocket. Clip it to your bag. No matter where you clip your skip-free iPod shuffle, you’ll have instant access to music. In silver, pink, green, blue, and orange, iPod shuffle goes with everything. Put it on, turn it up, and turn some heads.

Remix and match

The first step to wearing 240 songs is downloading iTunes — free. Then drop your iPod shuffle into the included dock, plug the dock into your Mac or PC’s USB port, and sync in minutes. Got more than 240 songs? No problem. Let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle and get a new musical experience every time

1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less. Song capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content.
2. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings.

Controls

iPod shuffle pays due respect to its bigger siblings with a thumb-friendly, 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 volume.

Headphone jack

iPod shuffle’s headphone jack does double-duty as a dock connector. Flip iPod shuffle upside-down and drop it into the included dock. Then connect the dock to your Mac or Windows PC via USB for a quick sync and charge. And if you’re away from your computer, you can charge on the go with an optional USB adapter.

Clip

Thanks to a sturdy, built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip it to your sleeve, your lapel, your coin pocket, your backpack. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks volumes about your style.

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,1 iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do.

Shuffle switch

Embrace your inner rebel: Flip the shuffle switch to mix up iPod shuffle’s contents. Then flip the switch again to play your hand-picked playlists and albums in the order you synced them from iTunes.

1. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings.

What's on your iPod shuffle?

Something new every sync. With iTunes, listening to iPod shuffle is never the same experience twice. Connect iPod shuffle to your Mac or PC and see what musical adventures await.

Stop, dock, and sync

iPod shuffle comes with its very own dock that you connect to your Mac or PC via USB. Then, whenever you feel the need for a quick sync, just drop iPod shuffle into the dock and iTunes goes to work.

More in store

With up to 1GB of storage space, iPod shuffle happily stores files along with your music. Use iTunes to tell iPod shuffle how much space to leave free for files and how much to fill with music.

World’s smallest DJ

For the ultimate exercise in uncertainty, let iTunes randomly autofill your iPod shuffle. iTunes creates a playlist that fits your style — and your iPod shuffle’s capacity. For finer control over your portable music collection, set Autofill to sync from specific playlists or add higher-rated songs first. Or turn Autofill off and manually select the songs you want to tote on your iPod shuffle.

Fill ’er up fast

iPod shuffle transfers the contents of an entire CD in a flash, so even if you completely refill iPod shuffle, you won’t be waiting very long at all. Of course, total time varies depending on how much music you want to add or replace.

Customer Reviews

Great companion for running and cycling
This new shuffle is just fantastic, I have downloaded the complete wildhearts album backlog to it plus all the solo stuff from the band (about 20 albums) and still have masses of space left. It is ideal for my running and cycling as I just clip it to something even a sleeve end and it stays put. The sound quality is great, i was a little worried about that having been unimpressed with my last couple of MP3 players. Finally it has survived two or three pretty brutal mountain bike smash's, and a couple of monsoons, and is still looking new and in great working order. So good I am getting some more for the family.

iPod rocks! :)
Quite simply the best thing i've saved up for!
I'm a fair weather runner - but need my music to keep me motivated. I'd been relying on my phone - but have recently broken my earphones and am sick of rubbish radio tunes - so saved up and invested!

It's light and very portable (the clip is a fab idea) oh and well pink - so you can't go wrong.
Only criticism is the earphones. They are too noisy to others if you are on the train and they are not well created for runners (as they fall out)
However the iPod is an essential for runners - especially not brilliant ones like myself - no changing, shuffling, finddling with buttons required. Just plug in and press play! Hurrah!

Pinkeriffic!
I bought this for my wife as she loves all things pink.

We have two little girls and this seems like the most indestructible option as it has a metal finish and no screen to crack!

Needless to say, the sound quality is very good and it is incredibly easy to use.

I have a Creative Zen which I love, but if I'm out doing something active, I may have to 'borrow' the Shuffle for a while! As it is flash memory with no moving parts, and has the metal case I mentioned previously - this should be a long lasting gadget addition to our home.

The looks are phenomenal, no pictures do this any justice, it has to be held in the hand to realise how gorgeous and small this little delight is.

When you hold it, the build quality becomes apparent, the metal finish feels lovely and the metal on off switch is not easy to accidentally knock and switch the thing off.

For anyone who wants a basic MP3 player then I can recommend this, there ARE cheaper ones out there, but this looks and feels like a quality piece of kit. ...and the built in clip comes in handy!
