Product Description

Put some music on.

The world's smallest digital music player and just $79, the 1GB iPod shuffle lets you wear up to 240 songs(1) on your sleeve. Or your lapel. Or your belt. Clip on iPod shuffle and wear it as a badge of musical devotion.

One size fits all
You know what they say about good things and small packages. But when something 1.62 inches long and about half an ounce holds up to 240 songs, 'good' and 'small' don't quite cut it. Especially when you can listen to your music for up to 12 continuous hours.(2) In fact, iPod shuffle just may be the biggest thing in small.

Ready to wear
Clip it to your coin pocket. Clip it to your bag. No matter where you clip your skip-free iPod shuffle, you'll have instant access to music. And iPod shuffle's anodized aluminum enclosure goes with absolutely everything. Put it on, turn it up, and turn some heads.

Sync to fit
The first step to wearing 240 songs on your iPod shuffle is downloading iTunes - free. Then you can download 99 songs from the iTunes Store or import music from your CDs. When it's time to sync, plug the included dock into your Mac or PC's USB port and transfer your music from iTunes just by docking iPod shuffle.

Remix and match
Got more than 240 songs in your iTunes library? No problem. Let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle and get a new musical experience every time. Pop follows jazz. Rock follows rap. iPod shuffle loves to improvise. Take the Shuffle switch, for instance. Even if you've synced a particular playlist, you can shuffle songs with a flick.

1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less. Song capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content.

2. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See Apple's site for more information.

Sync with iTunes
What's on your iPod shuffle?

Something new every sync. With iTunes, listening to iPod shuffle is never the same experience twice. Connect iPod shuffle to your Mac or PC and see what musical adventures await.

Stop, dock, and sync
iPod shuffle comes with its very own dock that you connect to your Mac or PC via USB. Then, whenever you feel the need for a quick sync, just drop iPod shuffle into the dock and iTunes gets to work.

More in store
With up to 1GB of storage space, iPod shuffle happily stores files along with your music. Use iTunes to tell iPod shuffle how much storage space to leave free for files and how much to autofill with music.

World's smallest DJ
For the ultimate exercise in uncertainty, let iTunes randomly autofill your iPod shuffle. iTunes creates a playlist that fits your style - and your iPod shuffle's capacity. For finer control over your portable music collection, set Autofill to sync from specific playlists or add higher-rated songs first. Or turn Autofill off and manually select the songs you want to tote on your iPod shuffle.

Fill 'er up fast
iPod shuffle transfers the contents of an entire CD in a flash, so even if you completely refill iPod shuffle, you won't be waiting very long at all. Of course, total time varies depending on how much music you want to add or replace.
