My ipod nano broke can I sync the songs I bought onto another ipod, like the shuffle?

Question

I've got an ipod nano 6th generation, the power button broke, can I buy an ipod shuffle and sync
the songs I've already bought onto the new ipod?

Answer 1

Just an idea for using your iPod nano, even if the power switch is broken.  I don't have a 6th gen nano to try this, but it would work with my 5th gen iPod nano.
If you use headphones with remote control buttons on the cord, pressing the middle button should have the same effect as pressting the power button to make the iPod active.  It does on my 5th gen nano.  And it should automatically go into the power saving mode if you leave it alone (and not play anything) for a minute or two, which is the same as pressing the power button to "turn it OFF."
The current headphones that Apple sells

works with the 6th gen iPod nano.  It also works with the 4th gen iPod shuffle, and sound better (to me) than the "stock" headphones the shuffle comes with.  Plus you'll have the remote control buttons on the cord to control playback and volume.
