I wanted an I-pod for Christmas and received the 2nd generation Shuffle from my family (this is the very small Shuffle that has a clip on the back). When it came to listening to it in my office I was limited to just speakers. After looking on Amazon I discovered the docking adapter that makes it easy to use one of the I-pod speaker docks that many retailers sell. It works great and I can listen to my I-pod during the day and with a flip of the switch on the adapter I am able to charge it at night! Great product and highly recommended.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)The Griffin Dock Adapter for the 2G iPod shuffle allows you to *dock* your Apple iPod Shuffle into most universal docks. For the reasons of cost I may have been too harsh on this guy. It does work. But some docks may be designed in slightly different ways. And with the changes Apple seems to constantly make to its dock standard it may not work on every dock.

For players like the iPod Shuffle and other MP3 players connecting with a standard aux cable is probably the safest bet. This provides an alternaitve to those whose aux ports are in use or who want to quickly dock their shuffles into a few docks. Most iPod docks have line-in or auxilliary ports, but not all do. Some people also have dedicated their ports to other mp3 players so being able to dock the shuffle may be a convenience for some. Truthfully, two ports should be standard on any dock. This guy fills the void for iPod shuffle owners who want to dock their shuffle or have iPod docks without extra ports.

Apple usually provides dock adapters for their players, but the Shuffle is the exception since it comes without the proprietary iPod dock interface. This one basically has a slightly modified headphone style port. So installing it with the adapter is basically plugging it in to the port and then seating it into the dock.

To me this unit still seems overpriced, but in fairness that's probably because of the small market for this product. The strange thing about this device is really the fact that it works with some docks and not others. Apple has changed their universal dock standard a few times and perhaps that explains it. Certain brands of docks seem not to work consistently either. Just keep in mind, this dock adapter is pretty mindless. If this doesn't work for you, it's likely due to the the way the dock port is configured rather than this adapter. Make sure you have seated your player into the adapter properly and dock it carefully.

So if you want to dock your shuffle this provides an alternative to the standard aux cable connection. It's worth giving this a try even though it may not work with every dock. Be warned, and make sure to test it right away so that you can return it if it doesn't work.

Enjoy!

I have an ipod shuffle 4th gen and I figured that it would not fit this adapter, and I was correct. So I purchased this product in conjunction with the iLuv iEA15WHT iPod Remote and it works great. I have not tried using the charge feature of this dock adapter and I do not plan to since it is not meant to be compatible with the 4th gen. But I am now able to play my shuffle through my Sony stereo system which has an ipod dock.

This is exactly what I needed to be able to play my old shuffle in our new baby's room. I was trying to figure out the best way to do it and the only speakers I could find were battery operated and I really wanted something I could plug in. I already had an old radio/alarm clock dock but my shuffle wouldn't fit into it. This was the perfect solution. I was a little hesitant to buy it after reading the reviews on here. Some people said the shuffle didn't fit into the adapter and other people said the adapter didn't fit into their dock. Everything fit together perfectly for me and it worked like a charm right away. I would give it 5 stars if it could play and charge at the same time, but I believe that's the shuffle's limitation and not the adapter itself but it's still a little inconvenient but better than not being able to use it at all. For $12 I'm glad I took the risk!
