That's a lot of junk for no reason. The 4th generation charges from your USB serial port. You just need a basic 2 Gb model for $45.

My music was on my computer in the I tunes library. The shuffle comes with an adapter that you plug in to the computer attached to the shuffle.

It comes with a cord that has 3 heads: small USB, standard USB, and standard headphone jack. You insert the small USB into the speaker and the standard headphone jack into your device, where you normally insert the headphone jack of you earbuds or headphones, as indicated in the photo. I have used it on both my much older Nano and newer Shuffle.

They supply the headphone adapter and micro cable. I didn't need to buy anything else with it. This is a good product that I will buy again if I upgrade to a new phone. Hope that helps.

Hello Mr. Erih, this item comes with everything, as you were buying it from the apple store web site, that includes: the original apple box, the guaranty, the manual, Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, Lightning to USB Cable, 5W USB Power Adapter and the tool for opening the micro-Sim compartment.

I think you're getting a bit too excited. All electronic products phase out for the new.The product is good in all ways. As far as accessories, it comes with an AC adapter. I got a case for it at a sound store for around $5 that works well. I bought some Sony earbuds that blow away the ones that come with it. I also bought a VRFM8 from Walmart that is an FM transmitter, to play the Zen to your car radio.The only thing I can imagine that is left is a car charger. (I just bought one on Ebay for $8. I think that's everything.) Plus, it doubles as an external hard drive for backups and such. I'm a happy camper with it. I think you're getting a bit too excited.

Connect it to the computer. Check more info in the iPod manual at http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf

Just the IPod and the usb cord. You have to buy the wall charger or you can use the one from your IPhone. The directions are cheesy no help at all.

At this point, accessories are a big minus for sure - there is one single manufacturer that has carrying cases (Noreve St. Tropez), but they cost 40EUR ($51) a piece excl shipping (they are handmade, though ;-) I am afraid for stands you will have to wait quite a bit (if not forever), car adapters should be easys to find, though, since you can be safe to assume that the player will run with the standard stuff you find at radio shack however - I have to say how great the player is and how it is worth the hassle to get it (at least it was until july). it is intuitive, the sound is excellent, even divx-movies are converted, the screen is brilliant and the hook-up with the tv runs smoothly (movies are like watching a dvd, seriously). all in all a great buy - the ipod would force you into itunes and cost way more considering all the "accessories" (i.e. radio, tv-out, foto-transfer, etc.) ipod-people have to pay big money for.

If you think you feel bad? Try being an owner of a 80gb iPod and then having it stolen from your vehicle. Hey! S..T happens, and you have to learn to take the good with the bad. I was taken for $350.00, but I didn't go out and buy a new iPod right away. My patience paid off, now I can go get another 80gb with new added features and for a cheaper price.

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 did not get the accessory kit since I had several of the items already (headphones and USB Cables) and just wanted a USB Mini to micro adapter and a mini USB cable to charge my phone. The kit is not a bad price but you may also have things already and it might not supply what you really need.

All that is included is a audio cable that plugs into your audio device. No mounting equipment is provided. I kept my iPod in my pocket, but if you got saddlebags you could put it in there. I do believe an iPod mount arm is sold online. That is another option.

Gregory, I didn't even use them because the add was very misleading or I misunderstood the description. I believe that you need an SD card with music on it in order to use this device. There should be a USB cord that comes with it. Hope this helps.

I buy electronics used all the time. If they are unacceptable, then you just call Amazon. I bought an iPod Suffle used and it's fine. Back when I sold my old IPod, it was perfectly fine, but they had just came out with the video iPods and I got one as a graduation gift. Really no need for two regular iPods, so I sold my old one because the video one was cooler. I got the iPod Shuffle because it's lighter and easier to clip to my shirt when I exercise. My advise? Be VERY aware of exactly what the description says. If it says it's scratched, but works well, then you don't get to be ticked off when it's scratched when it arrives. They TOLD you it was scratched. Also, pay close attention to the seller's rating. Do not buy from anyone who has less than a 94% customer rating. If you do, then look to see why people gave them a low rating. Often, it's just that the item took too long to ship, which in the scheme of things isn't a big deal when saving a ton of money. Just make sure it doesn't say "Item broken, tried to return it but the guy wouldn't respond" kind of comments. You are protected to a certain extent under Amazon.com when you buy from individual sellers.

I usually buy a Y-Audio plug which plugs into the stereo outputs of the receiver and can plug into an iPhone or iPod. I usually carry it around with me because I invariably end up in someone's home and they love the music on my iPod they want to hear it through their stereo system. You can get it in Radio Shack for about $5 or $6.
