Wow, that’s really helpful, fast forward and rewind works like a charm. Thanks a lot. I still like the shuffle itself, but the headphones tend to break pretty damn easily.

I loathe my iPod shuffle. But it’s cheaper than buying a new battery for my previous ones.

That being said, to fast forward, click once and then hold until you get to a spot where you think you need to be. You can hear the little bits of dialogue/music as you press hold. If I had to guess, I’d say 1 second is at least 5 seconds. Maybe more.

To go back, double-click, then hold.

At least, this is the US version that can do this.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, that might be right, but I still think that each song/podcast “defaults” to one language based on some metadata, and if that’s not correct, you have to change it manually for each file. But still, I believe you’re right, you can change it.

Very useful review.
I believe you can change the preferred language in iTunes.

I am not more impressed with product. But it’s design and sound quality is awesome. Price is little bit high if we caparing with others. But it can be manageable.anyway thanks for sharing review with us.i

“Apple’s worst product in years” - really? Just because of the click to play interface??
Have you used a recent generation iPod, or the iPhone? I regularly plug my iPhone headset into the phone and just click the button / mic once. It starts playing my music. I don’t have to turn on and unlock the phone, no need to navigate to the iPod function.
