Something I Should Have Figured Out Long Ago

I think the I-Pod shuffle is fabulous, its perfect for the gym, doing the dishes or lounging by the pool. My only beef with it has been that I can either shuffle the music randomly, or I can listen to the songs one by one. Both ways can be very frustrating when you're on a run and you want to listen to that one song that you can run faster to, do you know the one I'm talking about???

Well, I had a no-duh moment this weekend. You can create playlists on your shuffle! I think my life has changed permanently.

I currently have the 3rd generation shuffle, its not my favorite, in fact I bought it out of desperation because I had accidentally washed my old one and needed a new one. 3 weeks later the 4th generation shuffles came out...but I digress.

I came across an article on how to create and play my playlists no my shuffle, its a complete breeze and you can find it here.  Apple

I created a playlist on my shuffle, made sure to name it and I was ready to go. I think you might need to have voice-over capability on your shuffle to make this magic happen, but I believe if you have purchased a shuffle within the past few years, then you're ready to go.

Well, I'm off to create a few more playlists to use based on what exercise I'm going to do...hopefully now exercising won't be quite as painful, I'll have the right tunes to go with it.
