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.

on 2010-09-07BIKERS READY . I bought this Ipod specifically for mountain-biking. I have a Mini , a 5th Gen 60GB and used to have a 1st gen Shuffle.
I can say that the control in the headphone was a surprise( I didn't read anything before buying) and despite feeling quite a bit concern at the beginning , due to the fact that without the originals you cannot use the device other then plugging it to a USB reader ( car stereo with USB in my case)
I have used it for a month and have no complains. The control is located about two inches down from my right-side ear, which is nearly a perfect location when I use my biking helmet.
I rode my mountain-bike with them in rainy, muddy, sunny very humid conditions in a tropical country and has not suffer from any of the weather changes.
The best feature I find ( was eliminated on the next version) is the fact ther is no need to reach the device at all to control it. meaning that I place the Ipod in a dry secure area of my jersey and forget about it for hours.
The second best feature is the fact of not having any buttons in the device itself ( except sturdy ON/OFF) that will involuntary turn off or stop the device

on 2010-09-03This thing is the worst ever. I have been the biggest proponent of the Shuffle since the original Shuffle came out. This is like taking a step back in time back when electronics were not intuitive and not reliable. It is not functional with headphones other than Apple's. It is barely functional with Apple's headphones. This is terrible. I can't stress enough how frustrating this device is. I honestly am not happy with just getting my money back. I want my time back and my sanity back. Try running 18 miles and 14 of those without music because your "cutting edge" music player won't work with your sport headphones and when you try to "reset" it with the apple headphones you stuck in your pocket because you were prepared for this, it still doesn't work. Argh!!! I'm still mad about this product.

on 2010-09-02I bought this for my husband because his generation 2 shuffle was toast and the used ones cost more than this new one. I think he used it twice before it stopped holding a charge for more than 20 minutes. Since his workouts are longer than 20 minutes, it is pretty useless. It must be the sweat issue. I wish I had known this. What a waste of money.

on 2010-09-02Hi All, this is a combined review of the following items, used in conjunction:
A.) Apple 3rd Generation iPod shuffle 4 GB;
B.) Scosche TapSTICK Polycarbonate Case with Integrated Controls; &
C.) Skullcandy S4CHBZ-BC Chops Earbuds.
I'm mot sure, but I think you can verify that I ordered all 3 of these at the same time. The thing you have to take my word for is that I use them all together. Well, I do -- so there.
What I was after was a small mp3 player to use while running. I'm legally-blind, so that brings problems into the picture about controlling anything that's too complex or has a touch screen, so I was a bit worried about using the Shuffle. I have an iPod Nano 16Gb that I keep audiobooks on, and it works great for me, but that is a Nano, and this is a Shuffle. Less depth of item, less depth of software, therefore less depth of control I thought.
Then, I read the reviews about the latest gen-Shuffle's issue with the controls being near the ear/head on the earbud line, and shorting out when the person begins to sweat. WTF? Who uses a Shuffle except when they are working out = sweating? I didn't understand that. It scared me off for a bit, I admit. I run during the heat of the day here in Houston when the sun's directly overhead so I can locate the curb. Generally, it's about 100F degrees. Sweating could be an issue...
Anyway, that scared me off of the new Shuffle until I read the reviews that tied the iPod Shuffle to the Tapstic controller. There are some good reviews (go read them) of th iPod when used with the Tapstick controller, and I'm here to tell you, they have it right. The combination works like a dream.
I tied my purchase to the Skullcandy quasi-earbuds, so I've got a IPod Shuffle 4Gb, 3rd Gen, controlled and located within a Tapstick controller, feeding the audio through Skullcandy earbuds, which really aren't, truly, earbuds IMO, they are sort of half-way between true "in-ear" earbud speakers, and "cover" ear-phones. I do like 'em though.
The Skullcandy "earbuds'" sound is good, but a bit, and I mean only a bit, "thin" compared to a true "in-ear" ear-bud. The bass is light, and there a slight high-end register, but it's thoroughly enjoyable while running. Don't get me wrong, I give the sound quality an 8 of 10. Maybe I have weird-shaped ears, I don't know. They are the only ears I know how to use.
The iPod itself is just that, an IPod. Load it thru iTunes, with all it's coolness and drawbacks. Play your music randomnly simply by turning the player on, simple. Trying to actually skip around through the songs? Not so simple. Try to do it without missing stride? Forget about it. Leave it alone, suffer through the song you shouldn't have put in the mix, that's the easiest solution.
The player is tiny, you won't even know it is there. If you get the 4Gb player, you get about 800 songs or so (average of 5K per song), and that's a lot of music -- it is over 40 hours! The audio quality of the Skullcandy earbud-things is quite good. They have tiny over-the-ear "hooks" and the speakers fit sort of into the ears like earbuds, so I suppose they "could" fit in that category.
All in all, I give this combination, as a combination, 4.5 out of 5.

on 2010-09-01I agree! I thought maybe I just got a bad one. I lost the receipt, so I purchased a second Shuffle. Junk!!! Apple, you should be ashamed. I have a lot of Apple products and they work flawlessly. You knew these Shuffles weren't working right, but you still continue to market them as a great product.... Frustrated and disappointed customer
