The Shuffle will work with Vista, but the current version of iTunes (7.1) has a few minor problems:- When disconnecting the iPod, use the iTunes disconnect feature, not the windows remove hardware feature.- If text on the iTuens screen is hard to read, resize the window to refresh it.

I tried for over 3 hours to get 2 different 2nd gen ipod shuffles to work in windows vista home premium desktop hp. I updated firmware on shuffles and restored to factory shipping setting. Restarted PC. Itunes version 7.3. Will not sync individual songs to shuffle. Will sync whole library. But cannot see ipod shuffle contents in itunes. Then ipod shuffle would not work in itunes.Tried a new ipod nano purchased in dec 2006 blue colored ipod nano. Same difficulty.Any suggestions. Does the ipod shuffle work in windows vista??? Does the Ipod nano work in windows vista??

This is a bluetooth speaker, does your shuffle have bluethooth? If not it won't work.

I too have Windows Vista and am anxious to find out which- if any players are compatible with it. I have about decided on a Creative Zen V or plus and found one at SecureMart.com for $81.00. I hope someone can answer this for us.Ok- I kept searching and I think I will go with YES! Based on......the Vista Compatible site they listed the Creative M something or other that has 30 and 60 Gb for $299.00. I looked at the requirements and they are exactly the same as the Zen V plus. Does this make sense to anyone but me?

If you can download the podcast, then yes. The shuffle is old school, meaning you need a source for the music and then you put it on the shuffle.

I just bought the Cucusoft DVD to Zune converter, and it is GREAT!!!! I was frustrated initially because there would be occasional freezes in the output file, but then I discovered this program is not compatible with Vista. I installed it on my XP computer and it works wonderfully. Thanks guys!

I'm not sure, as I have not used Windows media. I have only loaded music using my itunes library. I would perhaps check on the Apple website to see what is says about Windows media and the iPod shuffle, as whatever you can do withe the land-based iod shuffle, you can do with this iPod.

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.

I used iTunes and it was easy for me. You should be able to just load the cds you want to listen to onto iTunes and then drag them over to the shuffle (within iTunes).

this card works fine in win vista, 7, and 8. it is a very basic Bluetooth connection, you might want a standalone Bluetooth if you have serious needs.

When I bought the shuffle I didn't notice the whole USB 2.0 thing, till I got it home, connected it to my USB port and tried to transfer a song. I kept getting errors saying that the device could not be written to. I went and bought a USB 2.0 card with 5 ports for $32, installed it and everything worked fine from then on. Other people have told me that it should work with USB 1.0, just slower...but I didn't find that to be the case.

I have my son's 4GB Nano working with Vista with no problems. You do need to have the latest generation of iTunes, which includes the latest quicktime, but that's about it. Good luck.

Holly, as far as I can tell there are no personal media players except the upcoming Zune from Microsoft that claim Vista support of compatibility out of the box. Hardware design cycles from other companies were probably too late to pick up on any Vista idiosyncratic device support. It will take another generation of devices (in other words a year more or so to shake the major Vista bugs out of peripherals...
