Nothing except the colors. The 4th Generation have a shinier finish in Silver, Orange, Blue, Green and Pink. The 5th Generation is much more matte, like the 2nd Generation of shuffle and comes in Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Purple, Silver, and Slate(my personal fave).

I believe so. I had a second generation shuffle and the original H2O audio. That one quit working so got the new one. That one didn't fit in the original unit. The old one had a ridge in it whereas the new one doesn't. And for that reason the new is not compatible with the old unit. The new unit has a deep pocket that any shuffle will fit in. The second generation is the same size as the fourth so I don't see a problem. A long answer to a short question. Hope it helps.

The main difference between the two is the bluetooth. They use the lastest bluetooth compared to the previous model.

There is no shuffle option. It plays in the same order and starts where you left off.

Yes, it has several options. It has intelligent shuffle (the truly random shuffle you want), it has shuffle & repeat if you want it, or shuffle by year, etc.

According to an X-1 customer support person that I just got off the phone with (11/06/13 at 4:45 PM central time), the iPod Shuffle 5th generation's change from 4th generation is only in color and sheen, so the 5th gen will work fine with the X-1 cases because it actually is a 4th generation shuffle.

it has a shuffle all option which works the same as a random option, when u first choose the music option from the main menu the first choice it offers is shuffle all

As far as I've been able to determine there is no shuffle feature. However, given the number of songs you can load not really an issue (at least for me-I use this on my bicycle). It does retain the memory of where you stopped. It picks up at the beginning of whatever song was last playing-so if, for example, you stop near the end of a song the next time you turn it on it starts at the beginning of that song.

When your music is on push the 'menu' button twice. Not too fast. The second push should show 'Random' that is your shuffle. If that doesn't work then when you push menu and it shows folders...then scroll with the right side of the button and it should go to the second page to show 'Random and Intro' scroll to Random and hit 'menu' and it will show a "R" with an arrow at the top, then you know you are in shuffle mode. Hope you can play with it and get it figured out. it took me lots of time to figure it out, It works great for what I got it for. It can be a real pain sometimes. It can be inconsistent at times. Good Luck!

Mine was 4g, but this generation came in 2gb also. The one I bought is 4gb, box was dusty, but new, but the shuffle feature works, doesn't work.

I think there is some confusion with the "G"s. In Apple world, G can stand for generation, as in in 4th generation (4G) Shuffle, or g as in gigabyte. In this case, the Monsters fit 4th generation shuffles, memory capacity irrelevant. Nearly all, (maybe all) Apple product cases are based on product generation, not memory capacity. Product sizes can vary from year to year, memory capacity does not alter the product. We are using Monsters with 4th Gen 2gb Shuffles. They are secure and fun too!

NO, you have got to specify which one he has. The Ipod 5th generation is longer and not as wide as the 4th generation that I have. I do not no if there is a difference between the other generations.

Hi Trudy! You can identify iPod Shuffle models by both the shape and the on board features: 1st Gen - White, made out of plastic. Control pad on board. USB connector built in. No transfer cable is needed with this model. 2nd Gen - Rectangular. Made out of metal. Control pad is on board. Comes in a variety of colors. 3rd Gen - Elongated rectangle. Made out of metal. No controls (other than the on/off/shuffle switch). Multiple colors available. 4th Gen - Square. Made out of metal. Control pad on board. Multiple colors available.

Nano and Shuffle use solid-state memory. These are more forgiving than a hard-drive mechanical drive on 30Gig and higher devices. You will need to be more careful with hard-drive memory devices, and they are bigger and heavier....plus more memory than you will ever use for music.
