Suitable alternatives to the iPod Shuffle

Having lost my old 2nd generation iPod Shuffle and having suffered nothing but problems with the new iPod Shuffle due to its intolerance to sweat, I need to find an alternative to the iPod Shuffle as I am about to start training for a marathon. Can anyone recommend any suitable alternatives to the iPod Shuffle?

Buy this: http://scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/321/productID/1726 and use any headphones you want (I use Sennheiser water resistant ones: I sweat quite a bit). I've had no sweat problems with this combination.
It is primarily the headphone switch that fails/shorts, not the Shuffle itself if you place it carefully where you won't rain on it.
Or get a Nano and a waterproof case.

Voice Memos on the iPod Shuffle

I have an iPhone 4s which I have made some voice memos on. I synced them to my computer and created a playlist in iTunes of the specific files I needed. I would like to put them onto my second generation iPod shuffle, but when I try to autofill the iPod shuffle from that playlist, I get an error message saying "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPod "Nicole's iPod" because no songs in the playlist can be copied to this iPod." Is there anyway that I can copy the voice memos to the iPod shuffle?

What format are these files encoded in? You can check by right->clicking on a track, choosing Get Info, and looking under the Summary tab.
Do these Voice Memos play okay in iTunes?

Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

What happens when you try to change the Shuffle's name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
Is your iPod set up to manually manage its contents. For more information, see your iPod's User Guide.

My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes login and pass so we created a new one. My question is how do we transfer that music that is on the shuffle to the computer? It will not let me do anything... The music titles are all dulled out, the only thing i can do is listen to them but I cannot do anything else.
Please help thanks!

You do not. Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
Sign out of the computer with the new Apple ID. STOP using the new Apple ID.
Sign in with the original Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

So, I bought the iPod shuffle and when I plug it into my mac, the option of syncing doesn't appear. What do I do?

Does the Shuffle appear ini Tunes at all? If not try using a different USB port and double checking to make sure the other end of the syncing cable is firmly seated in the Shuffle.

HT1459 My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs will that hold aproximately.

My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs can I get on the Shuffle...aproximately?

To see the exact size of your library, simply look at the status bar at the bottom. If you don't have a status bar, enable by going to View > Show Status Bar.
If you want to fit more on the iPod, use the capability to "Convert higher bit rate songs..." as shown below. If you set this to 128, you can fit around 500 4-minute songs in 2GB.

Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) need to be fully charged...

Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) need to be fully charged (green light) to appear in my iTunes. I just bought one on eBay... not sure if it works. It's plugged into the USB port and the light is orange (solid, not blinking).
Should I expect it to turn green before it will show up as a Device in my iTunes?

So, the issue on this one was that I was not plugged directly into my computer - I was using a usb hub. Once I removed the hub and put the ipod shuffle (2nd G) directly into my hard drive it opened up iTunes and I was able to synch. It never did show a green light, until I unplugged it and put the ear buds in, turned on the "on" switch and there was a green light. I hope this helps someone else.

HT1510 Is there a way to get the IPod Shuffle 3rd generation to go to the beginning of the playlist/music so I can go on the "Play In Order" mode and have it start from the beginning.

It has some songs I would like to keep
There is no legal way to do this- You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
For instructions on how to delete/add songs it's best to check the manual:

As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

How many decibels can the iPod Shuffle (4th generation) go up to?

Hi! How many decibels can the iPod Shuffle (4th generation) go up to?

Hi pce55,
If you have questions about iPods and sound or decibel output, you may find the following pages helpful:
Apple - Sound and Hearing
Q. How can I set the Volume Limit on my iPod to a specific decibel level?
A. The Volume Limit setting lets you change the maximum output of your iPod’s headphone jack. The actual sound pressure level that you experience depends on several factors: the music you’re listening to, how it was recorded and encoded, the type of earbuds or headphones you use, and their placement in your ears.
