How do you put songs on an ipod shuffle?

Question

My aunt bought the small ipod shuffle yesterday and asked if I would download and put songs on it for her, since my internet is a lot faster than hers. I let it charge last night and tried putting songs from both a cd and downloaded songs on it, and neither way worked. Also, when I plug it into my computer it is constantly blinking orange, and I do not know if this is what it's supposed to do. If anyone has any idea of what I could try I would really appreciate the help! I tried googling this problem but couldn't get anything that helped. Thank you!

Answer 1

Have you installed it? You have to have itunes, and then you should be able to drag and drop songs that you want right onto it.

Answer 2

you have to download the songs from the CDs in ur itunes (did u do that?)

synching means that all the songs from your itunes are on the ipod

Answer 3

Are you using Itunes to upload the songs.  You dont have to use it to download songs, but just to store and upload your library.  I have a shuffle but dont use it much (have a classic that I use more often)  I think the flashing orange is it charging.  It automatically charges when you connect it  

Answer 4

Shuffles are very confusing because they have no screen. Also, you can't download songs from the internet, it's all done on iTunes.
