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.

Does the job!
I purchased this Ipod at the start of the year for my partners birthday and all I can say is it does the job well! He wasnt bothered about there being a screen, watching videos etc. but simply wanted to be able to listen to music on his way to work without holding on to a large, bulky device. Whats more he has a rather limited music taste so doesnt have lots of music either. The Ipod shuffle is ideal if you want something thats barely noticeable and just want to listen to your music full stop (which most of us do). Its a fraction of the price of a Nano but with all the essentials that youd need from an MP3 device!
really pleased 
Bought this to use on my motorbike for my commute to work , really impressed with the size , good sound quality & good battery life & did not want a screen to scratch. Only thing the supplied head phones are only ok , however much better with Sennheiser head phones.

It's pretty, what more do you want?
For the size, this is an expensive MP3 player. You pay for the style. The compatibility with itunes I'm ambivalent about, I don't like being told how to do things and itunes bullies you into doing everything its way. Luckily many mac coders make software to circumvent it's 'defects'. The first thing it did after updating my shuffle was to corrupt it, requiring another update, then an age as it converted files to 128 AAC, which took a few goes as itunes would crash and require a force quit. Not an illustrious start.
The sound quality on default (128 AAC and apple headphones) is poor and sounds 'boxy', invest in a better set of headphones, but the shuffle won't appeal to an audiophile. It's good to have a backup ipod. Another plus point is it's pretty and the battery lasts a long time (but don't forget Apple has sealed in the battery, so once it's dead, it's dead for good, style over longevity is a key design feature of apple products).
It plays music and absolutely nothing else, small and pretty and fine for walking around the streets. It's just nothing special. I got my from Currys on the highstreet with a free £15 itunes code, so I'm not complaining (much), I like the shuffle. Something nice until they finally produce a 6Gen ipod. But there is better and cheaper out there, if itunes shopping and Mac computers are irrelevant to you. I almost did and I use apple computers. The shuffle competes in a more crowded market than an ipod video.
Recommend you buy a power adaptor, otherwise you need to leave your computer on to charge it. It won't charge if the computer is sleeping, inconvenient for a laptop and your carbon footprint. It will cost you less than £15, that and a set of headphones and this shuffle starts getting expensive... did I say it's pretty?
