The Shuffle will work with Vista, but the current version of iTunes (7.1) has a few minor problems:- When disconnecting the iPod, use the iTunes disconnect feature, not the windows remove hardware feature.- If text on the iTuens screen is hard to read, resize the window to refresh it.

I tried for over 3 hours to get 2 different 2nd gen ipod shuffles to work in windows vista home premium desktop hp. I updated firmware on shuffles and restored to factory shipping setting. Restarted PC. Itunes version 7.3. Will not sync individual songs to shuffle. Will sync whole library. But cannot see ipod shuffle contents in itunes. Then ipod shuffle would not work in itunes.Tried a new ipod nano purchased in dec 2006 blue colored ipod nano. Same difficulty.Any suggestions. Does the ipod shuffle work in windows vista??? Does the Ipod nano work in windows vista??

Not sure about Shuffle. Can't see why it wouldn't. Works with iPod Nano 6th Gen and iPhone 4s.

Hi there. I'm not sure about the iPod shuffle. However, I would not recommend this item. I only used mine a few times before it broke. Neither Amazon or Lucky would assist me in a replacement or refund so I am very unhappy. Buyer beware.

I have an OnStage II which I use for my 60GB iPod, but I also have a Shuffle, so I tried it out. The speakers will work with a Shuffle, but only through the little audio cable that they provide with the speakers. The shuffle will not sit in the dock on the speakers, which means you can't charge the shuffle on the speakers, and the remote doesn't work to flip through songs on the shuffle. I wouldn't do it - it's not worth the money to get very few of the perks of the speakers.

The only way to add music to the shuffle is via itunes, because there is no screen and thus no itunes app on the device. Sounds like you may have to upgrade your laptop to get the latest version of itunes, because itunes is available on Macs and windows computers.

Haven't tried it with a shuffle, but it does work with Iphones 4 and 5, so my guess is that it can work with the shuffle too.

If you have an older Creative Sound Blaster card, it will not work with Vista. Creative, according to their website, has no plans to produce a driver for Vista. When I was using the Release Canidates, I had to enable my onboard audio to get sound. My suggestion: enable onboard audio in your bios if possibe, or upgrade your sound card.

Holly, as far as I can tell there are no personal media players except the upcoming Zune from Microsoft that claim Vista support of compatibility out of the box. Hardware design cycles from other companies were probably too late to pick up on any Vista idiosyncratic device support. It will take another generation of devices (in other words a year more or so to shake the major Vista bugs out of peripherals...

Yes, I believe there is a shuffle option as well as an option to manually choose from folders. No, it does not work particularly well. I ended up returning the two I bought because of shoddy construction and the fact that one stopped loading two days after I received them. I ended up buying the Coby mp301-4G player and it seems much more solid for only a few bucks more.

I previously answered about the CD. It will work with Vista as plug and play, but only on some versions. If you try cto load the CD, remember that all CD's and zip disks must be removed before you can start Vista or else you will be stuck in start. Let me know if you have any problem. Thanks for your question.

It's basically just a speaker. You would use your device to control everything. So yes, you can use shuffle. This thing was hard to figure out and the directions were terrible. But it is tiny, and sounds okay once you do figure out how to use it.

Hi Michelle! I bought this to use when I went jogging. I found the performance to be poor. I had much better luck buying an ancient 16G and although it is bulkier, I am much happier with it. Yes, even the 16G speaks to current Apple software. I thought the size and capability of the shuffle were what I wanted, but I was disappointed. Hope this helps.

Yeah, personally I can't imagine trying to use a shuffle for books or podcasts even. I also had a second gen shuffle die on my in only a few weeks. IMO you really want at least a nano.

I have a Sansa that has no trouble with vista using the windows meida player. I love it I was thinking about the zune but from these post maybe not I should just stick with the sansa since it also has the sd slot for expansion.

I don't have first hand knowledge since I do not have a shuffle but I would imagine as long as the port is the same it should work. Sorry couldn't be more help.
