Tips on Your iPod's Shuffle Usage

Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Eric. I’m talking to you today on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this segment, we’re going through and talking about the iPod shuffle. The iPod shuffle is very good to us due to the fact that it’s gum sized; otherwise, very useful. In this segment, I’m going to go through and talk about the usage of this unit and how we can go about using it for everyday playback. Now, let’s take a look at the back of the unit. First off, we’re going to talk about the actual switch itself on the back of this unit, which you can just take your thumb directly and move directly down to show green. In this case, I’ve moved it all the way down two clicks into the shuffle position. We move it back up one click; we can put it in the direct play position, meaning that the actual songs that are on the iPod will go through and play in order. As far as the front’s concerned, the iPod shuffles control directly by the circle and the actual play/pause button in the center. Interestingly enough, when the iPods turned on, it does not immediately play. You actually have to press the actual button in to actually go through and start it playing. Interestingly enough, also, as well, the forward and back buttons for a track back and track forward. Also, if they’re held in will go forward in the actual song itself and if held in on the other side will go back. You also have volume down, which is the negative at the bottom, and the volume up, which is the plus at the top. One other thing that’s also interesting about this shuffle is the fact if the play/pause button is held in, the actual iPod will then flash amber into hinting that these buttons are no longer active. Simply holding in the play/pause button for 3 more seconds will make it turn green yet again. Pretty much that’s all there really is to the shuffle outside of the actual battery button, which is located here. On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Eric. Thank you for watching and have a good day. "
