Apple iPod shuffle 1st Generation (512 MB) MP3 Player

The Apple iPod Shuffle - 512MB Model

The iPod Shuffle, a flash memory-based digital music player based on iPod's shuffle feature which lets users "experience their music in a million different ways." Smaller and lighter than a pack of gum, the iPod Shuffle comes with its own lanyard so it's ready to wear right out of the box. The Shuffle works seamlessly with iTunes' AutoFill feature which automatically selects songs from a user's music library to fill up iPod shuffle with just one click. You can also select which songs you would like to have loaded onto your Shuffle by choosing either songs or playlists and selecting them for use on your Shuffle. The iPod Shuffle is the most affordable iPod ever, and enabled Apple to expand the overall market for their innovative iPod product line.

The intent of iPod Shuffle is pure simplicity - songs can be simply loaded and they are played in random order (hence the name "shuffle"). Apple indicates that on average, the 512MB Shuffle holds 120 songs.  The amount of songs it holds is subject to how large each of the songs is.
