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??

Hello Warren, I just tried it on my WIN7 computer and it worked. Plugged into USB, the computer found it and loaded drivers. I listened to music on the MP3 using Win7 and loaded music to it from the computer. No problem.

I haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

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.

no shuffle. fat32 only as far as I can tell. manual is not useful. sketchy support for mp3 at best. Bluetooth works great though!

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.

The only way to add music to the shuffle is via itunes, because there is no screen and thus no itunes app on the device. Sounds like you may have to upgrade your laptop to get the latest version of itunes, because itunes is available on Macs and windows computers.

I think it will work with Vista but you will need a good tape unit to work with it -- I could not get the sound to transfer from the setup I had -- My computer is Vista also

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 have an older Creative Sound Blaster card, it will not work with Vista. Creative, according to their website, has no plans to produce a driver for Vista. When I was using the Release Canidates, I had to enable my onboard audio to get sound. My suggestion: enable onboard audio in your bios if possibe, or upgrade your sound card.

I held off a long time for the same reason. Rest assured, Vista 64 compatibility was added with the the Power Pack 1 (think SP 1) which also corrected the data corruption problem and added other features. Note, it is a pain as you have to first install from a 32-bit operating system before you can install under Vista 64-bit. In other words, I had to connect my girlfriend's laptop with Vista 32 and start the install before I could ultimately connect my Vista 64 desktop to the EX470. It does work though and I love this product. I'm backing-up automatically, set up a photo share for my friends to access, can trade files with friends and serve all my music / video files to my Xbox 360s over powerline ethernet adapters. I recommend upgrading memory from 512mb to 2gb (HP has lifted warranty restriction against this).

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.

Yes it works fine with Vista, probably not mentioned since most users skipped over Vista...it only had like a 3% user base!

I have an OnStage II which I use for my 60GB iPod, but I also have a Shuffle, so I tried it out. The speakers will work with a Shuffle, but only through the little audio cable that they provide with the speakers. The shuffle will not sit in the dock on the speakers, which means you can't charge the shuffle on the speakers, and the remote doesn't work to flip through songs on the shuffle. I wouldn't do it - it's not worth the money to get very few of the perks of the speakers.

Yea, it would work with Vista. You can pull the SD card out and just plug it into your computer directly and copy files that way if needed.

Yes, this card will work with Windows Vista. Just make sure to install the drivers for it from either TP-Link's website or from the CD that comes with the product. Downloading the drivers from TP-Link's website is preferable because they will be the most up to date. If you have access to a computer with internet, just download the driver on that computer and copy it to a flash drive.
