Listening to Music	4

After you set up iPod shuffle, you can listen to songs, audiobooks, and podcasts. Read this chapter to learn about listening to iPod shuffle on the go.

When you disconnect iPod shuffle from your computer, you can clip on iPod shuffle and listen to music, audiobooks, and podcasts, while controlling playback with the earphone remote. VoiceOver lets you hear the name of the song you’re playing, choose from a spoken menu of playlists, or get battery status.

Playing Music

After you sync iPod shuffle with music and other audio content, you can listen to it.

To listen to songs and other items on iPod shuffle:

1Plug the earphones into iPod shuffle and place the earbuds in your ears.

2Slide the three-way switch on iPod shuffle from OFF to play in order (⁄) or shuffle (¡).

Playback begins. If iPod shuffle is on when you plug in earphones, playback doesn’t start automatically. Click the Center button on the remote or slide the three-way switch off and on again to start playback.

To preserve battery life when you aren’t using iPod shuffle, slide the three-way switch to OFF.

When you plug in earphones, wait until the green status light turns off before clicking buttons on the remote. Refer to the table that follows for information about controlling playback with the earphone remote.

WARNING: Read all safety instructions about avoiding hearing damage on page 33 before use.
