I love my shuffle (Ipod) all my music came from my own music collection, but you have to have ITunes (which you can download and use for FREE) to put music on your Ipod. HOney, if *I* can figure out how to do it, you can. It's really easy. The Ipod plugs into the USB port of your computer, and that's how you download your music. ITunes has songs available to buy, as well.

go to www.applecom/itunes. That should fix you right up.

I LOVE my shuffle - for the reason you mentioned here, tuning others out. Also for when I work out. I hate the music they play at the gym. Go for it!
