IPODMania: ipod in bright new colors that speaks of you

iPod shuffle now comes in five vibrant colors. It’s available in 2GB and 4GB models. And it talks.

The world’s smallest music player.

To create the world’s smallest music player, we moved the controls from iPod shuffle to the earphone cord. This makes iPod shuffle smaller than ever, and the controls are right where you can reach them. So when you want to play, pause, or skip to the next tune, you don’t have to fumble for your iPod shuffle — just follow the cord and press a button.

Easy-access controls.

The controls are located on the right earphone cord. With command central strategically placed in this more convenient location, you can navigate your music — and activate the VoiceOver feature — without taking your eyes off your run, your ride, or whatever you’re doing. iPod shuffle includes these easy-access controls, but you can also use headphones with similar controls from manufacturers like Scosche, Klipsch, V-MODA, and Belkin.

Your music library. To go.

iPod shuffle is now available in both 2GB and 4GB capacities. So you have plenty of room to store hours and hours of music — up to 1,000 songs with the 4GB model.² That’s a load of essentials for your workout or commute. And there’s room for multiple playlists and audiobooks, too.

Let’s talk color.

The anodized aluminum enclosure makes iPod shuffle sleek and durable. It’s even more colorful in gleaming pink, blue, green, black, or silver. And making its debut: the special edition iPod shuffle in polished stainless steel (Talk about rock star treatment). Even the iPod shuffle clip rocks. It attaches securely to your shirt, jacket, workout gear, and backpack, making iPod shuffle the perfect fashion tech-cessory. And yes, there’s still room for personalized engraving.

The first music player that talks to you.

VoiceOver will surely be the next big hit on your iPod shuffle.¹ Say you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. Just press a button, and VoiceOver tells you. You can even hear the names of your playlists. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too. Learn more about VoiceOver

VoiceOver tells you what song is playing and who’s performing it.

Easily switch between playlists to find one for your run.

Navigate your music without taking your eyes off your ride.

Multiple playlists.

You’ve probably made multiple playlists in iTunes. One for your commute. One for the gym. One for just chilling out. Now you can sync playlists on your computer with iPod shuffle, and play the perfect mix for your activity or mood. VoiceOver tells you the name of each playlist, so it’s easy to switch between them and find the one you want without looking.

Multiple languages.

A French love song. A Spanish bolero. An Italian cantata. Your music library has songs from all over the world. That’s why VoiceOver speaks 20 different languages. So it can tell you song titles and artists in the correct languages. Learn more about VoiceOver

To shuffle or not to shuffle.

The shuffle switch has three positions. Flip it to the left, and you’ll hear your music in a refreshingly random way. Flip it to the middle, and your songs play in order. Or flip to the right to turn iPod shuffle off.
