The Shuffle will work with Vista, but the current version of iTunes (7.1) has a few minor problems:- When disconnecting the iPod, use the iTunes disconnect feature, not the windows remove hardware feature.- If text on the iTuens screen is hard to read, resize the window to refresh it.

I tried for over 3 hours to get 2 different 2nd gen ipod shuffles to work in windows vista home premium desktop hp. I updated firmware on shuffles and restored to factory shipping setting. Restarted PC. Itunes version 7.3. Will not sync individual songs to shuffle. Will sync whole library. But cannot see ipod shuffle contents in itunes. Then ipod shuffle would not work in itunes.Tried a new ipod nano purchased in dec 2006 blue colored ipod nano. Same difficulty.Any suggestions. Does the ipod shuffle work in windows vista??? Does the Ipod nano work in windows vista??

Yes, I have the same question, and will only purchase this item if there are speakers that can be used with it. I already have the CA portable digital speakers and use them with my (now full) 8GB ipod nano, doesn't look like the 2GB shuffle is compatible with these speakers.

If you have an older Creative Sound Blaster card, it will not work with Vista. Creative, according to their website, has no plans to produce a driver for Vista. When I was using the Release Canidates, I had to enable my onboard audio to get sound. My suggestion: enable onboard audio in your bios if possibe, or upgrade your sound card.

My friend's works fine under Windows 8. As far as I'm aware, there have been no driver changes from Window Vista through to 8. However, the mic/inputs on this unit are very sensitive. I blew mine out. Great sounding unit though I've switched to Focusrite's Scarlett and Personus's Firestudio.

Yes it does work with your windows Vista. I might add that if you upgrade to Windows 7, you'll be very happy. It's user friendly

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

My music was on my computer in the I tunes library. The shuffle comes with an adapter that you plug in to the computer attached to the shuffle.

I haven't been able to get this to work with Vista. For some reason I can't open the internal storage to add files. I have tried both connection modes and have contacted support but can't get it working correctly. It's going back for Cownon to look at becasue right now It's just a glorified FM reciever. I will post again to update the outcome. Maybe this is just a defective unit.

Yes, it does. The "Shuffle" feature is easily activated in the menu settings.

I just bought the Cucusoft DVD to Zune converter, and it is GREAT!!!! I was frustrated initially because there would be occasional freezes in the output file, but then I discovered this program is not compatible with Vista. I installed it on my XP computer and it works wonderfully. Thanks guys!

I have my son's 4GB Nano working with Vista with no problems. You do need to have the latest generation of iTunes, which includes the latest quicktime, but that's about it. Good luck.

I upgraded from Vista on 2 computers. it was a hands off success. Both of them work significantly better now.

Haven't tried it with a shuffle, but it does work with Iphones 4 and 5, so my guess is that it can work with the shuffle too.

Yes, it works for shuffle. It has been charging great. No complaints. Recommend. Hope this helps.

If you can download the podcast, then yes. The shuffle is old school, meaning you need a source for the music and then you put it on the shuffle.
