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 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??

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse

i have a older mp3 and it has a shuffle option and that's great but it plays the songs in the same shuffle order every time. sounds funny I have 900 songs in mine but have listened to it for so long I can almost tell u what song is coming on next!

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.

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

It won't plug in directly since iPod 5th gen uses the new "Lightning" dock connector whereas this radio has the older-style 30-pin dock connector. Apple sells a "Lightning to 30-pin Adapter" for $30 which will probably fit OK in this radio but the iPod will lean back, supported only by the plug on the bottom. Maybe not the best combination.

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

If you have steering wheel controls you just set the iPod volume at a little above midpoint or so and adjust volume with the steering wheel controls as well as the songs changing up or down. Hope this helps.

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

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

This product works great with my second generation Ipod Shuffle! It has very good sound and is easy to use!

You can listen to anything you would normally be able to download to your iPod shuffle. If you already have another iPod shuffle then it will act exactly the same. Does that make sense?

I listen to audiobooks on my iPod all the time, you just import the CD's as MP3s into iTunes, and then drag them onto the shuffle. I find the audio quality of the library editions and Audible to be unacceptable (similar to am radio). The iPod also bookmarks your last position when you turn it off as long as your battery is charged. You do not have to use "aac" (Apple audio file format) files on the iPod, you can use MP3s, which is the standard format.

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.

It should work with the shuffle. I have an older version of that particular IPOD and it works fine with it.

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.
