audio books on shuffle would the ipod shuffle be a good pick for use listening to audio books?

No. I bought it JUST for audiobooks, not music. It shuffles chapters, even though I have it turned to direct play. If you accidentally hit the forward or back button, forget trying to find your original place.

I'm interested in the Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB strictly for listening to audiobooks from Audible.com. Is this a good choice and is 2GB enough storage and does it bookmark. I am new to these devices. I'd like the lowest price until I learn more about them. Also how do you charge it? And can I use a regular headset or does it have to be earbuds which I can't use with my hearing aid.sure would appreciate any and all help on this.

i listened audiobooks too, but when I add musics and deleted audiobook, since then voice over does NOT WORK. i don`t know why and what to do know. maybe I accidentally changed something in i tunes settings.

I'm very new to these devices, but I sure like the price for this one. Here's my problem: I'm disabled and the click buttons would be a huge problem for me if they are too stiff and hard for me to click. Also wondering about using it for both music and audiobooks, sounds like audiobooks are problematic, and expensive earbuds might be necessary. Help, anyone? Thanks.

2 GB is plenty of storage for one book. It does not bookmark so if you lose your place for any reason, it's really hard to get back. It charges when you plug it into your computer. Don't know about regular headset but can't see why not. It has an ordinary plug. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably save my money and buy a better ipod or just continue to use audiobooks from the library.

Yes, although occasionally bumping the skip buttons can make the experience aggravating.

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.

Yes, you can play your own music/audiobooks/podcasts from your iPod. However, you also have to crank up the volume to listen from the iPod. While average volume setting for regular radio play is 12, for iPod audio I have to use at a minimum a volume setting of 22 but it can go as high as 34 (for listening to classical music and some audiobooks). P.S.: I had gone to the Apple store to have the iPod checked but the volume settings are in order.

It should work with the shuffle. I have an older version of that particular IPOD and it works fine with it.

It works just the same as an iPod. If you have bluetooth access to your stereo system or have an auxilury input, you are set. I use my iPad to play audiobooks since the iPad is so much bigger and I can get to the pause button without too much distraction.

I don't have an iPod shuffle but it will work with anything with a normal headphone jack, so I would guess--yes.

Anything you can get on itunes you can put on your ipod. Podcasts, audio books, even movies

I''m using just for listening to music, but sound is great, that''s why I think you can use it for audio books also.

Sorry...I can't help you there..only use it with my Ipod Touch skiing. I'm sure it would work great with Audiobooks...great sound quality, and only $25!, I've tried other speakers (Sony, JVC, ), Altec Lansing is the "most bang for the buck"...I would recommend it all day long

Any earbuds with a 3.5 mm stereo jack will work with the iPod shuffle. I typically don't use the Apple earbuds because they do not fit my ear well. I use some Sony earbuds I purchased at Walmart.

I'm not sure about iPod shuffles because I bought it for my iPhone 4S but it works great with it! I'm pretty sure it probably works with any device! It's like your ordinary aux cord.. It works perfect for me! I love it.

Any files that you have on your touch can be downloaded to the shuffle using iTunes...so the answer is Yes!

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.

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.

Yeah, the newest Nano is a big step back. And yeah, I wouldn't want to try to use a shuffle for podcasts or books

The shuffle is only great if you want to play similar genres of music and don't need to find a particular song. It's great to use while exercising though, or on continuous play while working, etc. It does have a button to shuffle the music if you want.
