How to Download Music From iTunes to the iPod Shuffle
Apple's iPod Shuffle is the smallest model in the iPod family, but it was the first iPod device to use flash memory. To start enjoying your iPod Shuffle, you can transfer your favorite songs from your computer to the device. The iPod Shuffle doesn't operate as many other MP3 devices, utilizing Windows Explorer to transfer audio files. Instead, iPod Shuffle users must use iTunes to transfer songs to their device.
