New iPod Shuffle: Anyone here knows about the new iPod Shuffle?

Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Blue (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL Matheus Weber, The newest iPod Shuffle is the Fourth Generation. It looks a lot like the iPod Shuffle Second Generation, but it's slightly smaller. If you were to base shuffles off of design and size then the iPod Nano Sixth Generation would be considered the newest shuffle. Also Apple has put buttons back onto the shuffle itself. We are no longer required to buy six or seven replacement headphones to control that terribly small device known as the iPod Shuffle Third Generation. Godspeed! ~SWWPD

Hey Robertson. I don't have an Ipod shuffle, but I've tried it on my Ipod 2G and it's working perfectly! So I assume it would work on any Ipod or Apple product.

I am not actually sure. I have not used my Ipod in years. Not even sure what generation I have.

Mine always restarts the last song played before unplugging. There must be an internal charge that holds the memory. I have not figured out how to change to "shuffle" mode. The display shows different modes available. I don't have enough buttons on the unit or remote to access modes unless there is a secret button press combination needed. If anyone finds a way to change to shuffle I would like to know.

I put my ipod on shuffle and just hit next and it doesn't play the next song in order. You can still hit next when the head unit is in ipod control mode, so there's really no reason to put it in head unit control mode

Well Levery and micheck, if it does have a shuffle mode any reason why you haven't shared how that works, since most others claim it does not have that feature? This is a very rare feature in portables, therefore very important to know if it actually has it.

Scosche is making two products that look pretty interesting and are for pre-order here on amazon, one is a case with controls built in for the new ipod shuffle, the other is a cable with the controls and an extension to allow you to use your own headphones (both allow the use of 3rd party headphones). I may buy one of these new shuffles when these get released as I am using a 2gb 2nd generation shuffle.

Hi Trudy! You can identify iPod Shuffle models by both the shape and the on board features:1st Gen - White, made out of plastic. Control pad on board. USB connector built in. No transfer cable is needed with this model. 2nd Gen - Rectangular. Made out of metal. Control pad is on board. Comes in a variety of colors. 3rd Gen - Elongated rectangle. Made out of metal. No controls (other than the on/off/shuffle switch). Multiple colors available. 4th Gen - Square. Made out of metal. Control pad on board. Multiple colors available.

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

This speaker dock used the now-dated 30-pin connector. The newest iPods (all but the shuffle) have the new lightning connector. There is an adapter, but it would be awkward to use in a speaker dock.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

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??

my apologies...i did not own the device long enough to answer your question. as soon as i found out that the device would not shuffle play, it went into the trash can. sorry.

No, there will be no more updates to this Ipod. I saw it on wikipedia. This will be the last generation for this Ipod. Currently they are still going to continue to produce it but I don't know how much longer that will be.

As far as I've been able to determine there is no shuffle feature. However, given the number of songs you can load not really an issue (at least for me-I use this on my bicycle). It does retain the memory of where you stopped. It picks up at the beginning of whatever song was last playing-so if, for example, you stop near the end of a song the next time you turn it on it starts at the beginning of that song.

I don't have an iPod shuffle but it will work with anything with a normal headphone jack, so I would guess--yes.
