Can I play FM radio on the ipod shuffle? I've never owned an MP3 player, but would like to have it for my walks.

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.

Holy cow! The headphones cost more than the mp3 player! Maybe Apple expects us to insert this tiny new shuffle straight into our collective rectum--hey maybe gen 4 will have prostate interface. haha

I have a IPOD touch 32GB, it didnt work on this player. I had ordered the Altec Lansing IM600USB player from J&R through Amazon website. I have a 32GB Ipod Touch (2nd generation). The FM radio is working fine, but the Music from the Ipod wont play on the speakers. Also the Ipod doesn't seat correctly on the docking station. The Docking station adaptors which come with the player also didn't help. I had called J&R Customer support, they instructed me to call Altec Lansing Technical Support centre. The Technician tried to resolve the issue but he wasn't sure why the Ipod music wont come on the speakers & why it is not seating correctly on the docking station. He instructed me to return the player as there was no more troubleshooting that could be done over the phone. Also I had ordered Altec Lansing IM600USB player, the manufacturer box shows Altec Lansing IM600. I returned the unit. Waiting for Altec Lansing IM600USB to come on Amazon.

Yes, I have the same question, and will only purchase this item if there are speakers that can be used with it. I already have the CA portable digital speakers and use them with my (now full) 8GB ipod nano, doesn't look like the 2GB shuffle is compatible with these speakers.

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.

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?

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.

Sorry, I have no knowledge on what's required to use your iPod with this radio. All I can tell you is that it's a great radio with great sound quality.

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

Love this radio, but it has the older style plug, do it won't work with new iPhone or iPods.

You can pre-sort your playlist on iTunes by alphabetical order within the Artist Name but outside of that, you will not be able to know in real time what is playing because there is no display screen like the larger iPod versions. The other option is to create smaller 10 song playlists that you know the specific order of and shuffle between them. This inability to know "real-time" what is playing is a small downside of the shuffle and would be a reason to buy the larger iPod with screen display.

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.

Mine was 4g, but this generation came in 2gb also. The one I bought is 4gb, box was dusty, but new, but the shuffle feature works, doesn't work.

Nothing except the colors. The 4th Generation have a shinier finish in Silver, Orange, Blue, Green and Pink. The 5th Generation is much more matte, like the 2nd Generation of shuffle and comes in Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Purple, Silver, and Slate(my personal fave).

It has an Ipod choice. I think it might be in the set up. I haven't been able to figure that part out though.

I still use a shuffle because I listen in the car and at night, and the shuffle is the one iPod that you can use without having to look at a screen.
