Four Steps to Playing Music on iPod shuffle
To set up iPod shuffle, you install software from the iPod CD, and import songs
from your music CD collection or purchase songs from the iTunes Music Store
(available in some countries only). Then you transfer the songs to iPod shuffle for
listening on the go.
Step 1: Install the Software
Insert the iPod CD into your computer and install iTunes and the iPod software.
Step 2: Import Music to Your Computer
Complete this step if you haven’t already transferred music to your computer. You can
import music from your audio CDs, or if you have an Internet connection, you can buy
music online and download it to your computer using the iTunes Music Store. You can
browse over a million songs and listen to a 30-second preview of any song.

To charge the iPod shuffle battery:
When iPod shuffle is connected to a high-power USB port on your computer, the
battery charges. The battery status light on the back of iPod shuffle (see page 14) is
amber when the battery is charging, and green when the battery is fully charged. If
you don’t see this light, try connecting iPod shuffle to another USB port.
The first time you connect iPod shuffle, leave it connected for about four hours to
charge the battery fully.
To transfer songs to iPod shuffle:
When you connect iPod shuffle to your computer, iTunes opens automatically and
transfers a selection of songs to iPod shuffle. When the song transfer is complete, a
message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete. Okay to disconnect.”
Step 4: Play Music
Once you have charged the iPod shuffle battery and transferred songs, you are ready to
play music.
Disconnect iPod shuffle from your computer and set the switch (on the back of
iPod shuffle) to play in order (⁄
) or shuffle (¡
).
Then insert the Apple Earphones, press Play on iPod shuffle, and enjoy!
