Continuing The iPod Ride

As I promised, we will continue learning more about the iPod.

There is an entry-level iPod that is screenless and the budget model called the Shuffle (sounds like a dance to me!). This is what they called the first generation (they have improved them since they came out in 2005) that uses a flash memory. The flash memory can be electrically erased and reprogrammed, you know, like a memory stick you use for your computer to transfer data between computers and other digital products.

The Shuffle was/is easy to download music off of the computer (it plugs directly into your computer through an USB port) with a bunch of songs and be able to play them in random order (shuffle). Sounds like an MP3 Player doesn't it?

Anyway, the price was good and has come down under $100's as improved larger capacity generational ones have become available. This one only holds about 240 songs. It sounds about my speed. Good to take with me on my walks in nature.

I'll explain the next generation next time around.

See ya!
