The mfr says no (on JBL's own web site). I don't know if the shuffle has a mini-plug out -- you can do that, but for sure you won't be able to use the remote control.

I have an OnStage II which I use for my 60GB iPod, but I also have a Shuffle, so I tried it out. The speakers will work with a Shuffle, but only through the little audio cable that they provide with the speakers. The shuffle will not sit in the dock on the speakers, which means you can't charge the shuffle on the speakers, and the remote doesn't work to flip through songs on the shuffle. I wouldn't do it - it's not worth the money to get very few of the perks of the speakers.

Will work with any mp3 player by using the line in jack at the rear of the system. How ever the remote might not work for forwarding tracks on mp3 players other than "ipods that sit in the dock".

I'm almost 100% sure that this will work with any mp3 player (including the shuffle) that has a regular 35mm (or w/e it is) sound jack

Don't know, if the shuffle uses the standard Apple USB cord it should work.

Hi Ellen! Yes, they are compatible with the Shuffle. The Tooks have a standard stereo headphone mini jack plug. Allowing connectivity to virtually all portable media players. ~^v^-Drop Bass Not Bombs-^v^~ J

Yes. I bought the Altec for my IPod Nano as well as my shuffle. Also works with IPod touch. Great sound.

I had the same question beforehand and never got a straight answer. As far as I can tell there is NO shuffle/random function on the unit. When playing songs off the SD card it always plays them in the same (alphabetical) order. The "Repeat" button just turns the repeat function off and on, and the "Mode" button just changes the input. There is no mention of a "shuffle" function in the instructions. The lack of a shuffle/random function is the only criticism I have though...otherwise it is a great little device.

I don't have first hand knowledge since I do not have a shuffle but I would imagine as long as the port is the same it should work. Sorry couldn't be more help.

Well Levery and micheck, if it does have a shuffle mode any reason why you haven't shared how that works, since most others claim it does not have that feature? This is a very rare feature in portables, therefore very important to know if it actually has it.

The speaker itself does not have that function, but its not a concern since the the "shuffle" function would be controlled by whatever your audio source is (ie. iPod, etc). Hope that helps!

I don't think it is -- the shuffle doesn't "dock" right? I use it with the Itouch and old Iphone and they have different pieces the help adjust to adapt to the product.

The merchandise is only compatible with the Shuffle 2nd generation. The charger may fit newer generations of the Apple Shuffle, but it will not be able to charge or sync.

No. The reason we are dissatified is because it won't shuffle the music. My husband had one that shuffled but someone stoled it when we went on vacation. Ordered two to replace the one he lost and neither one of them shuffled. Give up....

I have an old school shuffle that I tried it on. It is one of the hot pink ones I think it is second generation. The on/off and volume seem to work with these just fine.

Sort of. You can create a playlist with a particular order on iTunes then put it on the iPod shuffle. You can also use the "voice over" button which tells you the song's artists, title, etc.

Not sure about the iPod shuffle but I have used it with my iphone 4 and iphone 5 and it works great. It comes with two cords: one is a charger and the other is the cord to play the music in the car. I think they are universal. And yes, it plugs into the earphone outlet of both of my iPhones. Hope this helps!

yes it is similar to an apple ipod in this sense. it will never play the same track twice in random unless you completely played all your songs in the shuffle

It's basically just a speaker. You would use your device to control everything. So yes, you can use shuffle. This thing was hard to figure out and the directions were terrible. But it is tiny, and sounds okay once you do figure out how to use it.
