by Bob Pardue

For music lovers - This informative report will show many of the features of the iPod Shuffle and I hope it will help you to have a better experience with downloading music or audio books.

The iPod Shuffle offers music lovers the chance to carry their music, audiobooks and podcasts with them wherever they go. This product carries some unique features that make managing songs and other data a cinch.

iPod Shuffle Uses

One reason music fans love the iPod Shuffle is because it has many uses. Podcasts are web news feeds or feeds with updates from particular websites. From the iPod Shuffle, a user can subscribe to a feed from any website that offers one and receive the podcast (or broadcast) through their iPod Shuffle device when connected to the Internet. The podcasts might be updates of the latest music or movies or anything else. Whatever the user's likes, they can subscribe to receive the updates directly to their device.

The iPod Shuffle can be used to download songs from a CD or the Internet to listen to on the go, whether in the car, on a bike, or taking a walk. Radio-style shows can be delivered to the device as well as audiobooks for the bookworm who doesn't have time to read. These items can be downloaded from sites such as iTunes Store or Audible.com.

Unique Features and Controls

Some of the features available on an iPod Shuffle include a headphones port, top status light, previous or rewind button, next or fast forward button, a shuffle switch, a bottom status light, volume controller, and a play/pause button.

Users can also organize their music by title and playlists. This makes it easy to find and select any song on demand. Some devices hold up to 1,000 to 2,000 songs or more so organization is a must!

Another great feature is the capability to convert songs with a higher bit-rate format such as AIFF to smaller sized files so they can be loaded onto the iPod Shuffle. This can be accomplished without affecting the quality of sound in the song. The iPod Shuffle is also great for file storage as an external disk.

Whether you want updates by podcast, great music or audiobooks on the go, or just a new gadget to show off to your friends, the iPod Shuffle is a great choice!
