[Electronics-talk] Very Small MP3 Player for Audible.com Files

[Baracco, Andrew W]

It is so small that the controls are on the headphone cord, which means
that you have to use those earbuds.

I haven't tried the new Shuffle yet, but I did look at one in the store.
You won't believe how small it is.  From what I have read, it uses the
VoiceOver software like the Nano, but on this model the clock talks.

How does the new iPod Shuffle with speech already built into it work
then? I assumed it was the same as the iPod Nano.

The review at
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/11/new-ipod-shuffle-unveiled_n_173
930.
html,
says the speech works as follows:

Here's how it works: As you synchronize a new Shuffle using an updated
version of iTunes, your PC or Mac looks at each track and playlist and
creates a small file of a computerized voice speaking the title, artist
or playlist name.

This sounds to me like it works the same as the iPod Nano. I Don't have
a Shuffle myself, so I'm curious as to how it works.
