Shuffling Along With Your IPod-Part2
...... or right. To fast-forward or rewind press left or right on the wheel and hold for a few seconds.
There is also a LED green light that indicates that the iPod is receiving and performing all the given commands. An orange light will be seen if there is any sort of errors. There is a battery indicator located on the shuffle. Green light means good, orange means running low and the red means that it is running very low. If it doesn’t respond at all, that means it is dead and needs to be recharged.
It seems like any other iPod when you use it with iTunes, but there are a few features that only the shuffle has. It is much more convenient to put songs on the shuffle than other iPods. An autofill box will appear at the bottom of the iTunes window. This is where you can choose your source of music. You can pick iTunes library or a playlist. Otherwise, you can just choose songs at random. This can replace all your songs on the shuffle each time you choose autofill.
To get the most out of your iPod shuffle you will want to go into your preferences and you will want to choose the option – Convert Higher Bit Rate Songs to 128kbsp AAC for this iPod.
With the shuffle only able to hold one gigabyte of songs and this feature can be very important to use with the shuffle. The shuffle will not allow songs that are AIFF or Apple Lossless files. These types of song files can really weigh your iPod shuffle down. But that’s what is so nice about that built in feature. Once this option is set and iTunes is used it will turn that once fat file in to 128 kbps AAC as it syncs with the shuffle. But the original size of the song file will be kept the same in iTunes. Using this type of sync can be a bit slow, but it will benefit you on the many songs you will be able to keep on your iPod shuffle. Unfortunately this is a feature that is only available on the shuffle. Maybe with the iPods growing popularity it will also be an option put into other iPod models.
