5 cool ways to use the
iPod shuffle by Tyler Powers
The iPod shuffle can do much more than just
play music. Here are a few things you can
use your shuffle for, that will enrich life
and improve your knowledge.
You can use your iPod shuffle to learn a new
language. Since the iPod shuffle is light
enough to listen to anywhere, you should
take advantage of those long waits in lines
to brush up on your foreign language skills.
Simply add audio books that teach the
foreign language that you wish to learn and
listen to them anytime and anywhere without
interrupting others.
You can share your music with another when
using a Belkin headphone splitter. The
Belkin headphone splitter connects into the
earphone jack of your shuffle and provides
two connections where you can connect two
earphones instead of one only. This would be
a prefect solution for couples that wish to
listen to music instead of boring
conversations during family gatherings.
Sitting side-by-side, a couple can smile and
nod while listening to their favorite band
without anyone being the wiser.
A Belkin headphone splitter would also be a
perfect solution for families with two teens
and a low budget. The teens can share an
iPod and the music without the fighting that
usually occurs between siblings who have
problems sharing items that were purchased
for the whole family to use.
You can listen to the songs on your iPod
shuffle on your car radio by combining a
Belkin Tunebase with Belkins Tunecast II.
Tunebase plugs into your automobiles
cigarette lighter and has an adjustable neck
that holds the iPod shuffle with ease and
Tunebase charges your shuffle battery
automatically when connected. The adjustable
neck will let you position your iPod shuffle
at your convenience. Tunecast II is an FM
transmitter that you can attach to your iPod
shuffle. The transmitter lets you play the
songs on your shuffle through your cars
stereos. By using a combination with
Tunebase and Tunecast II you can have your
favorite selections playing as you drive
each day, without jeopardizing your safety,
or others safety, by listening to your
shuffle with earphones on.
The iPod shuffle can also be used to store
important data files. If you need to backup
important data files, you can add them to
the shuffle using iTunes software for
safekeeping. Carry your important data files
with you wherever you go by simply clipping
your iPod shuffle into your briefcase,
purse, pocket or shoe.
You can also use the iPod shuffle to help
you with your studies if you are a student.
Using your computer, record your notes into
MP3 format and transfer your recordings to
your iPod shuffle using iTunes. Now you can
listen to your notes during breaks, on your
way to and from class and at night before
doing your homework. Studies show that the
mind retains information better when heard
than information that is merely read, so by
listening to your studies instead of just
reading them, you will not only improve your
knowledge but you will learn faster as well.
This not only helps to improve your grades,
but it also provides additional free time
for you to enjoy other things besides your
studies.
