This article is an excellent guide on how to remove songs from an ipod onto a computer that no longer has those music files: http://reviews.cnet.com/transfer-ipod-songs/I have sadly had to use it when my external hard drive just stopped working one day. You can download them to you computer from your ipod shuffle and then upload them from the computer to the ipod nano. Hope this helps :)

They pretty much have to be synced in order for them to be downloaded from your PC to an iPod

Sure... if your songs are sync'ed with your computer, when you plug in your new iPod, just re-sync with iTunes to the new iPod and it will copy everything over (depending on how you've configured it). I have three different iPods connected to my Mac, two of them are hard drive based, and so they both are mirror images of each other.

Hi there. I'm not sure about the iPod shuffle. However, I would not recommend this item. I only used mine a few times before it broke. Neither Amazon or Lucky would assist me in a replacement or refund so I am very unhappy. Buyer beware.

I have a few hundred on mine. I'm not really sure how many total you can get on there. I like the shuffle from a size perspective. What I don't like is you get roughly 2 hours of play time out of it before the battery is dead. So basically you have to charge it after every run/workout. Just and fyi.

LOL... too old for an iPod? I've got 4 iPods, and a music library of well over 5000 songs, and I'm 66 years old. I plan on using them for many years to come. 8-)

Don't know about the Nano, doesn't change track with iPod 3rd generation, or with iPhone 3GS, or iPad, starts and stops music, adds bass, and has volume control, have no idea how it would change tracks. Sorry if this doesn't help.

i have a older mp3 and it has a shuffle option and that's great but it plays the songs in the same shuffle order every time. sounds funny I have 900 songs in mine but have listened to it for so long I can almost tell u what song is coming on next!

yes it is similar to an apple ipod in this sense. it will never play the same track twice in random unless you completely played all your songs in the shuffle

Most definitely. I currently have 11 apps and 4,343 songs. Phew! Anyway, I actually want more on my iPod but it is very close to being full. I can fit a couple more albums on there but that's about it. I have the 32 GB and I wish I could have afforded the 64 GB version because then I won't run out of space. 32 GB is definitely a lot but for me it's certainly not enough! :)

you can't. All you can do is skip song by song, typical Apple. If you like loading your Sandisk you'll hate iTunes for sure. It's hard to just load songs by selecting them randomly. I have 25gb of music so I can't sync my 2gb ipod with iTunes - I just get the first 2gb.

Did you intend to ask "How many CDs does it play?" If so, the answer is: one at a time. The system has a shuffle mode (accessible on the remote-control device) if you want to alter the sequence of the tracks on the CD.

I'm sorry, I just read the other responses. I thought you were referring to the capability to 'shuffle the songs.' I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It worked for my playlists. Unfortunately I have it in my classroom and wont be able to try it until Monday, August 5, 2013.

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.

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.

Using iTunes you can move music from any Apple type device to another. You would have to sync the nano first and go through the setup but as long as your iTunes has the music you want on the nano on there you can do it.

Yes you can set the songs to shuffle. At the bottom of the screen to the right of the "open" icon there is another arrow which will bring you to another screen. If you choose mode that will allow you turn on/off the shuffle feature and choose whether you shuffle within the folder or all songs.

It's either plays ALL the songs in alphabetical/numerical order or just one song. There's not a random option. I have it set to play on song only ..... and when I get bored of that song ill make it play another ONE song. Hope this helps. :)

I think there might be a shuffle setting but it is very difficult to see the name of the songs. Whatever order you have your songs listed in a folder, is the order that they play. I found the interface difficult to navigate. I bought this for my 3yr old and decided to return it.
