How to Work a 4G Shuffle Without Earbuds

The 4G Shuffle is the fourth generation of the Apple iPod Shuffle. Unlike other iPods, the Shuffle does not have a screen and is actually just a small flash drive with a play/pause and forward/back button on it. The device is typically used with a set of headphones, however if you do not have headphones with you it is possible to use the Apple 4G Shuffle without them.

Things You'll Need

• Apple 4G Shuffle
• Computer speakers

Instructions

1. Connect the computer speakers to the Apple 4G iPod Shuffle. The small audio port typically use for the headphones is the same size as the computer speakers plug so it is possible to connect the two devices together.

2. Power on the 4G Shuffle. There is a small switch on the side of the MP3 player that power it on.

3. Press "Play" and the audio begins to play. Push "Play" again to pause the song. You can move to the previous or next song with the forward and back buttons.

4. Increase or decrease the audio with the "+" or "-" buttons on the Apple 4G Shuffle.

Tips & Warnings

• Connecting larger speakers such as these to your Apple 4G Shuffle is going to significantly drain the battery fast. The device is only typically used with smaller headphones and the battery is not large, so playback may only last for a few songs.
