How IPod Shuffle Sets Apart From Other IPods

How To Get Your IPod Connected To Your Home Entertainment System
The iPod is one of the newest ways to listen to your music. If you have a little computer savvy, you can purchase an .....

Apple has proven with the iPod that, like cheese and wine, it just gets better over time. The iPod is currently available in three versions: iPod, iPod Nano, and iPod Shuffle. The iPod, available in 30 and 60GB storage capacities, can store up to 15,000 songs. The iPod Nano, a smaller version of the iPod, is available in 1, 2 and 4GB storage capacities and can store up to 1,000 songs. Yet it is the iPod shuffle that stands out from the others. Available in 512MB and 1GB storage capacities, the iPod shuffle is proof that bigger isn’t always better.

One of the major things that sets iPod shuffle apart from other iPods is the element of surprise. People love a good mystery and they get exactly that with the iPod shuffle. Out of 120+ songs, you never know what you are going to hear next. It’s like having your own personal radio station, only without the commercials. With a regular iPod, you set the playlist you want to hear and the songs are played in that order every time. The iPod shuffle adds fun to the listening experience because the playlist is completely random.

If you own an iPod you may notice that you do not have to install regular AA or AAA batteries, but instead the iPod .....

Not only is the order of the songs random, the playlist can be random as well. Using the iTunes Autofill feature, the iPod shuffle can be randomly filled with up to 240 songs. The Autofill defaults to the entire iTunes library, but you can change the setting so that it chooses songs from a specific playlist. So if one day you are in the mood for Classical you can fill using your Classical music playlist. If on the next day you want to hear some Rock, you can fill using your Rock playlist. Autofill can also completely replace the existing playlist on your iPod shuffle or replace only songs that you select for it to replace.

Another one of the things that makes the iPod shuffle unique from its sister devices is its design. The iPod measures 8.38" 2.49" 0.84 centimeters and weighs 22 grams. At less than an ounce, that makes the iPod shuffle lighter than some car keys. That makes the iPod shuffle ideal for physical activities. Since the new design uses flash memory rather than hard disk storage, skipping is no longer a concern. It comes with a lanyard so that it can be easily worn around the neck.

ITunes And IPods
iTunes and iPods seem to be a match made in music heaven. One is a virtual jukebox. The other is one of the most .....

Since there is no menu to navigate through, there isn't a touchpad in the shuffle like there is on other iPod versions. The buttons ......
