ipod v ipod shuffle

Am a techno muppet,can any one explain the difference between an ipod and a ipod shuffle,not to much techno speak as am over 40,as am looking to buy one,and use itunes to get the songs many thanks

shuffle is very limited and cant fit a lot of songs on. and when you say ipod... which one

?? I reckon you would want a nano unless you have a massive library that you want to get on there. they spend a fortune on their website, so have a read

I have an ipod touch but thats because i am a gadget geek, its all about how much you wanna pay, and how much you wanna store :wink:

Shuffle - small (1 inch square approx, and thin), no display so cant watch movies, 15hr battery, 100s of songs

iPod - bit bigger (3 inch by 1.5inch), display shows songs and can watch movies, not sure battery life but probably the same, upto (depending on model) 40,000 songs.

shuffle will be cheaper than iPod, but think sound quality will be the same.

As above the shuffle is limited on storage space. I have the new 4th generation touch but i like my toys so what you need to do is work out how many tracks/songs you want on it then look at the different models that have the storage capacity you need plus a little bit more for spare.

Mark.
