iPod Shuffle’s Killer Feature
April 13th, 2007 by pale_whites
I think it’s worth having an iPod Shuffle for many reasons; it’s size; it’s wearability etc.
There is a feature I really like that puts it above other, more advanced, iPods.
As you know, because the Shuffle’s has no display, the key marketing feature that Apple Inc. focuses on is the random playing of music tracks.
What I like is, that when I listen to music in shuffle mode and come across a record that I know is part of an album, I can move the switch to the ‘ordered’ setting, move back through the tracks to the beginning of the album (or playlist) and listen to the whole thing. If I have had enough of the album I can switch back to the shuffle mode without affecting the music playing.
With the nano (or any iPod with a screen) I have to look at whats playing, navigate back to the start screen and then navigate to select the album. Then I have to select the first track.
This feature of a switch for random or ordered play comes in handy quite a lot (for me). I often want to hear more of the album once I com across it randomly.
