iPod shuffle

Overview

The third generation iPod shuffle is only about the size of two “AAA” batteries, yet it can store over two and a half days’ worth of music in its four-gigabyte memory. And it can talk to you. The iPod shuffle’s new VoiceOver feature uses a computer-generated voice to tell you the title and artist of the song you’re listening to.

Simple in-line controller
A compact remote built into the headphone cable operates the iPod shuffle. You can control basic functions such as stop, start, skip and pause, as well as activate the VoiceOver feature.

Change playlists to match your mood
This newest iPod shuffle lets you create multiple playlists in iTunes and load them onto the player. Activate VoiceOver to select the playlist you want to hear. A convenient button on top of the iPod shuffle lets you listen to your songs in order, or mix things up with random play.

On-the-go convenience
The iPod shuffle comes with a built-in clip, so you can attach it to your belt, shirt pocket, or just about anywhere. And with a rechargeable battery that delivers 10 hours of continuous operation, you’re sure to have music wherever you go.

Note: requires free iTunes® software download from www.apple.com
