This article is an excellent guide on how to remove songs from an ipod onto a computer that no longer has those music files: http://reviews.cnet.com/transfer-ipod-songs/I have sadly had to use it when my external hard drive just stopped working one day. You can download them to you computer from your ipod shuffle and then upload them from the computer to the ipod nano. Hope this helps :)

They pretty much have to be synced in order for them to be downloaded from your PC to an iPod

Sure... if your songs are sync'ed with your computer, when you plug in your new iPod, just re-sync with iTunes to the new iPod and it will copy everything over (depending on how you've configured it). I have three different iPods connected to my Mac, two of them are hard drive based, and so they both are mirror images of each other.

The "Shuffle" option plays the exact same playlist each time the Soundfly is powered on. Mine begins with 1638, 1759, 1829, 0603, 0528, 1537, 1534, etc. Is there any way to change this order? It's sad to have over 2000 songs on a 16GB SD card and hear the same songs over and over (and over, and over). I can't believe a product that is excellent in so many ways could be lacking a way to randomize songs. I wouldn't like this with audio books, but for music I would think it's preferred. Thanks!

I just bought the Nano and it's way smaller than the Shuffle is. I used my nephew's IPOD and that's what made me want one, but i LOVE the Nano because of the size. Some of it wasn't intuitive for me, but my husband picked it up and had no problems with it. Once I saw how to do a couple basic things on it, I was set to go and didn't need any help at all. He thought that it would be good to have the screen and at first I didn't care, but now that I've used it, I can see why you want it. After using both, I'd have to go Creative Labs all the way.

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

I have put audio books on my nano and currently have seven on there. I had a little trouble initially getting them from Audible.com to my iPod but all it took was checking the audiobooks I wanted and syncing the iPod. I love it.

In "Play all", I don't like the way it repeats songs sometimes several times before others get played even once. I don't have any songs rated, so they should all be at the same level. It also seems to go through a subset of albums, playing several from each before other albums get their chance. I tried picking "repeat" with "shuffle", thinking it may actually run through all the songs first before repeating. No luck. Did anyone not notice this? Maybe it's just my e280.

Oh, thanks for the answer mate!But at 2011 didn't Apple release new generation of Shuffles, right?Because some reviews of this iPod are from September 10, 2010.

Great question! The ipod shuffles we offer are 4th Generation. Some people get them confused with the '5th Generation' but the truth is that no '5th Generation' exists for the ipod shuffle. Instead of rolling out a new generation when other members of the Ipod Family received their upgrades, a new colorway was introduced for the Ipod Shuffle. Our 4th Generation ipod shuffles are the latest model available. --Underwater Audio Customer Service

I keep all my music on an external drive.....and I have 2 different iPods (a classic for ALL my music and videos, and a nano for certain playlists for workouts and travel)......by setting the playlists to manually sync (as suggested above) for whatever iPod is designated, you can control what goes on what, and allow each one to have a different set of music/videos on them.

You don't need to convert mp3s at all to play them on the ipod--it will play any regular mp3 file. All you have to do is add them to your iTunes library (just drag and drop them), and then either let the software put them all on your ipod or if you have more music than the ipod will hold, set the preferences to update the ipod manually and just drag the mp3s you want on it directly to the ipod or to a playlist and add it the same way. I hope that helps.

Yes, it works just like all iPods. It will reset the shuffle after adding new songs, but it starts right where you left off when you stopped playback and/or charge it.

Most definitely. I currently have 11 apps and 4,343 songs. Phew! Anyway, I actually want more on my iPod but it is very close to being full. I can fit a couple more albums on there but that's about it. I have the 32 GB and I wish I could have afforded the 64 GB version because then I won't run out of space. 32 GB is definitely a lot but for me it's certainly not enough! :)

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

As long as the 5th Gen Shuffle is the same dimension size as the 4th Gen Shuffle, then yes. I tried looking, and it looks to me like the 4th and 5th Gen Shuffle are the same, just more color options (2nd was more rectangle, 3rd was much taller, and 4th/5th are more square shaped). Here is a link on Apple's page that differentiates Ipod models:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353?viewlocale=en_US&locale;=en_US

We each have our preferences, but listening to books on a shuffle is certainly not one of mine. As has been pointed out, there's no way to see where you are in the book, and it doesn't use a scroll wheel like a nano or other ipod to make finding your place easy. Since I usually convert CD audio books to MP3 and ipod formats I've found that when you have a long book (say 12-24 CDs), it's quite easy to lose your place if you ever do anything else with your ipod (and you certainly can't do much with a shuffle), it can be incredible PITA to get back to where you were. I finally dumped my shuffle.I'd recommend a nano (5th Gen is superior to the newest model in my opinion) or anything with a screen.

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

Great Queston! My Wife gave me an Ipod for Christmas, I have around 1,000 cd's, I've almost loaded all of them on my computer. My Ipod is less than half full, my computer is maxed! I want to load more!
