Matheus Weber, You were almost correct. Apple did not release a new iPod Shuffle in 2011, but they released the iPod Nano Sixth Generation as a type of replacement. The reason that most of the comments are dated back to 2010 is because that was the year the newest model of the iPod Shuffle (Fourth Generation) was released.Godspeed!~SWWPD

Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Blue (4th Generation) NEWEST MODELMatheus 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.

I have no idea what generation my Ipod is. It is about 5 years old. It works fine with mine. Sorry I can't help with this question.

thanks for the reply.. I ended up buying the sansa shaker mp3 player (I liked the idea of having a speaker option), for my 8 yr old niece this Christmas. I wish I didn't. It seems that if you have a Mac, and buy music on iTunes you, can't transfer it to an mp3 player, unless it is an iPod. ITunes music is in AAC format... you can't change it mp3 format. Mac apparently says that the sound quality is better.. I'm not so sure, and I am definitely disappointed that Mac doesn't at least give you the option. I'll just continue to let her use my old 2nd generation iPod.

Any musuc I download whether through itunes or not can be added to my itunes library and in turn added to the ipod shuffle. In fact most songs I have were purchased through Napster or some place similar.

Hello Lindsay, Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about these electronic devices, if you don't you use them you would have no reason to know anything about them. Let me start by addressing the question at hand of playing games. The version that you have selected, the nano, does not have any games available for it. This version of an ipod would not work for what you need. That being said, the version that you would need will need to have these things in its description or even title, "TOUCH." This means it'd be for a version of ipod that you operate by touching the screen the same as you would with a smart phone. Also, you would need one that is any of the following Generations. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 7th. The best way to look at these is like cars. Each year the newest model will come out and it just improves on the previous years model. For an Ipod, what that generally means is more storage space on the device and they tend to get smaller and sleeker. These devices do not come with the games. To actually get games on the device, you will need to download from the itunes store online. Remember you do not want a Nano, and it has to be a "touch" version of the generations that we mentioned. We hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions!

It depends on your ears actually.. To me, and coincidentally for quite a number, the best sound quality has got to be the ipod 5.5 generation (30g or 80g) since they use a better audio chip (Wolfson). I used to have a classic but traded it in for the 5.5 gen. The sound of the 5.5 gen is warmer, more natural, 'acoustical', and has more depth. Listen to big speakers when comparing this generation to ALL other ipods and you'll know what we're talking about. Cheers.

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.

my name: I don't understand your argument. Just because it is first generation, that means it does not benefit from what is currently available on the technology market? That is like saying a new television manufacturer should only be expected to supply black and white TVs, since it is their first forray into the market.King: My prediction is that in 2 years this will be roughly equal to all other MP3 players out there. A feature here or there will be different, just to stand out. Unfortunately, they will probably not have the market share to knock out the damn iPod.

This speaker dock used the now-dated 30-pin connector. The newest iPods (all but the shuffle) have the new lightning connector. There is an adapter, but it would be awkward to use in a speaker dock.

Anne Graham,If you are talking about the First, Second, or Fourth Generation iPod Shuffle then you do not need to use the headset provided by Apple. If you are talking about the Third Generation iPod Shuffle then you need to use the headset provided by Apple, or purchase a Belkin Headphone Adapter to go with your own personal headset.Belkin Headphone Adapter with Remote for Apple iPod ShuffleGodspeed!~SWWPD

Mine never worked. I have the most recent generation of iPod shuffle as of summer 2014.

My iPod shuffle is no longer working. I contacted the manufacturer but to no avail. I wouldn't spend $ on another!

I find it interesting that this discussion was created in the first place. My initial confusion was that the product page seemed to be pushing for people to buy the iPod to use with this, but the item title specifically says FOR THE SANSA FUSE. I guess someone asked Amazon to change the item title and Amazon agreed? Not sure, but I originally dismissed all the iPod references on the item page as product placement or whatever you call that...

I never had an Ipod classic! But I love my nano it has bluetooth so I can use with my wireless headphones! I had gotten 3 different refurbished ones though and nothing but problems with all 3! so I broke down and spent the $150 to get the new one and I love it!!

Yeah, personally I can't imagine trying to use a shuffle for books or podcasts even. I also had a second gen shuffle die on my in only a few weeks. IMO you really want at least a nano.

my question is whether these speakers work with any type of ipod? such as ipod 3rd generation or 4r that is the ipod nano 4gb and if you can connect to you through a cable other phone than ipod? and if the price is the correct for the speakers ? 26.00 $
