Manufacturer's Description

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 centre button to play and pause. Click the outer buttons to move back, skip forward and adjust volume.

Headphone jack
iPod shuffle’s headphone 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 quick a quick sync and charge. And if you’re away from your computer, you can charge on the go with an optional USB adaptor.

Battery indicator
Green means go, amber means you’re low and red means you’ve almost hit zero. But with up to 12 hours of battery life (1), iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do.

Clip
Thanks to a sturdy, built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip it to your sleeve, your lapel, your coin pocket your backpack. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks volumes about your style.

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 hand-picked playlists and albums in the order you synced them from iTunes.
