New iPod Shuffle: Anyone here knows about the new iPod Shuffle?

Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Blue (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL Matheus Weber, The newest iPod Shuffle is the Fourth Generation. It looks a lot like the iPod Shuffle Second Generation, but it's slightly smaller. If you were to base shuffles off of design and size then the iPod Nano Sixth Generation would be considered the newest shuffle. Also Apple has put buttons back onto the shuffle itself. We are no longer required to buy six or seven replacement headphones to control that terribly small device known as the iPod Shuffle Third Generation. Godspeed! ~SWWPD

It says it works on iPhone, I don't know if it's a certain model or all of them. It does not support the iPod Shuffle.

The only difference between two differently released iPod shuffle 4th generation is the colors. While the first released versions were silver, blue, pink, green, and orange, secondly released versions consisted of silver, slate, purple, pink, yellow, green and blue models, all with matte finish unlike the shiny finish before.

I was wondering if this would work with the IPod shuffle 2nd Generation as far as the docking and charging is concerned..anyone know for sure?

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.

Hi Michelle! I bought this to use when I went jogging. I found the performance to be poor. I had much better luck buying an ancient 16G and although it is bulkier, I am much happier with it. Yes, even the 16G speaks to current Apple software. I thought the size and capability of the shuffle were what I wanted, but I was disappointed. Hope this helps.

Mine always restarts the last song played before unplugging. There must be an internal charge that holds the memory. I have not figured out how to change to "shuffle" mode. The display shows different modes available. I don't have enough buttons on the unit or remote to access modes unless there is a secret button press combination needed. If anyone finds a way to change to shuffle I would like to know.

Because you are using it for movies, you must get the 8gb model, the 4gb will fill up too fast. The 4 gb model is ok for a moderate sized music collection, most of those 30 or more gb players are usually mostly empty for most people, but not for movies. Since a 3g shuffle was just introduced, I would strongly recommend waiting for an update for the nano, im betting a 16 gb model is coming, frankly I'm surprised the current nanos don't come in a 16gb model, I think they are just trying to sell more ipod touches, which i cannot recommend unless you have a huge pile of cash to get rid of.

I found this answer on Google: There's actually no such a thing as the 5th Generation iPod shuffle. On the internet, you can even see some say 6th generation. There are only four generations of iPod shuffle. The reason of the general confusion is that because the 4th generation iPod shuffle is released two times, with different colors. The first release was in 2010 and the second release was in 2012 (with different colors and material design). The only difference between two differently released iPod shuffle 4th generation is the colors. While the first released versions were silver, blue, pink, green, and orange, secondly released versions consisted of silver, slate, purple, pink, yellow, green and blue models, all with matte finish unlike the shiny finish before, in order to correspond with the 5th generation iPod touch and 7th generation iPod nano.

Hi Trudy! You can identify iPod Shuffle models by both the shape and the on board features:1st Gen - White, made out of plastic. Control pad on board. USB connector built in. No transfer cable is needed with this model. 2nd Gen - Rectangular. Made out of metal. Control pad is on board. Comes in a variety of colors. 3rd Gen - Elongated rectangle. Made out of metal. No controls (other than the on/off/shuffle switch). Multiple colors available. 4th Gen - Square. Made out of metal. Control pad on board. Multiple colors available.

I have thr ipod shuffle and it did not work for that. It also came from the Philippines and took forever. Bestbuy.com has them cheap.

I put my ipod on shuffle and just hit next and it doesn't play the next song in order. You can still hit next when the head unit is in ipod control mode, so there's really no reason to put it in head unit control mode

I am not certain as I didn't use the shuffle for that purpose. I found the shuffle to be inferior...spotty performance, headphones not working properly. The shuffle is currently collecting dust while I use an older but more reliable iPod. I would not recommend you purchase this model shuffle. Best of luck to you.
