iTunes for Your Tunes

Whether you use a Windows PC or Mac, iPod shuffle offers a superior solution. Transfer your music and data effortlessly, without tweaking settings each time you move files between iPod shuffle and your computer. Simply add new music to iTunes by downloading it from the integrated iTunes Music Store or importing it from your CDs in MP3 or AAC format.

Autofill

Transfer Your Music Automatically

Once you connect iPod shuffle to your Mac or PC, iTunes automatically updates its contents. iTunes becomes aware that you’ve connected iPod shuffle and displays it in the Source column. You can see your music and playlists at a glance. 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 add 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.

Music and More

With up to 1G of storage space(1), iPod shuffle happily accommodates files along with your music. Via iTunes, you tell iPod shuffle how much storage space to leave free for files and how much to Autofill with music. Then use iPod shuffle as a portable backup drive or to exchange files between multiple computers.

iPod shuffle USB

Fast Transfer Times, One Simple Connector

iPod shuffle can transfer the contents of an entire CD in a flash, so even if you change the entire contents of 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. Connect your iPod shuffle directly to your computer’s USB port — a USB 2.0 port for even faster transfers — then recharge your iPod shuffle and sync files in no time flat.

iPod shuffle's Dock

The Versatile Dock

Apple makes a dock — the iPod shuffle Dock — exclusively for iPod shuffle. Order it directly from the Apple Store when you purchase your iPod shuffle or afterwards, if you prefer. Leave the iPod shuffle Dock connected to your Mac or PC via the USB connector. Then, when you’re ready to charge or Autofill, just dock your iPod shuffle and iTunes will get to work.
