How Do I Transfer Music From My CD Collection to an iPod Shuffle?
The iPod Shuffle is a popular MP3 player that is best known for its small size. While not as big as other iPod models, a Shuffle can hold up to 1,000 songs. This is equal to dozens of CDs, which provides several hours of playing time. Of course, you must first transfer your CDs to the iPod if you want to use it. Depending on how many CDs you have, it could take as little as a few minutes to complete.
