Very quick iPod Shuffle question

[AndyWoodall]

Argos are banging out the first gen iPod shuffles for £25, so going to pick one up for going jogging (wouldn't go out with my iPod or K800i around here!!!), but I have daft question...

Can you actually choose what to put on it, ie select tracks and stick them on? I seem to remember when these were launched that it used a random feature in iTunes and just picked stuff from your collection, not such a bad thing, but was just curious.

You select which music goes on to the device.
It has a 3 position mode selector on the back, Shuffle, Repeat, Normal. The default position from the factory is as you can imagine 'Shuffle'.

I would assume that if you loaded on a set playlist that you knew the order and then put the device in to the 'normal' mode it'd start at one end of the list and just work its way though.

Thanks for that, I thought it probably would, but wanted to check first.
