Apple's most affordable and fashionable iPod.

What they say about good things in small packages is true, especially when it comes to the Apple iPod shuffle. At merely 1.62 inches wide and weighing about half an ounce, this ultra portable MP3 player holds up to 240 songs. The iPod shuffle lets you listen to your music for up to 12 continuous hours.

Remix and match
The first step to wearing 240 songs is downloading iTunes— free. Then drop your iPod shuffle into the included dock, plug the dock into your Mac or PC's USB port, and sync in minutes. Got more than 240 songs? No problem. Let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle and get a new musical experience every time.

Controls
iPod shuffle pays due respect to its bigger siblings with a thumb-friendly, circular control pad that puts the "go" in ergonomic. Click the center button to play and pause. Click the outer buttons to move back, skip forward, and adjust volume.

Headphone jack
iPod shuffle's headphone 3.5mm jack does double-duty as a dock connector. Flip iPod shuffle upside-down and drop it into the included dock. Then connect the dock to your Mac or Windows PC via USB for a quick sync and charge. And if you're away from your computer, you can charge on the go with an optional USB adapter.

Battery indicator
Green means go. Amber means you're low. Red means you've almost hit zero. But with up to 12 hours of battery life, the iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do.

Shuffle switch
Embrace your inner rebel: Flip the shuffle switch to mix up iPod shuffle's contents. Then flip the switch again to play your handpicked playlists and albums in the order you synced them from iTunes.

Stop, dock, and sync
With iTunes, listening to iPod shuffle is never the same experience twice. Connect Apple iPod shuffle to your Mac or PC and get a new music mix with every sync. The Apple 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 goes 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 space to leave free for files and how much to fill 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
the Apple 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.
