I was inspired by <a href="http://shufflehacks.blogspot.com/2005/04/diy-baking-soda-can-ipod-shuffle-dock.html">Royal Baking Soda portuguese iPod dock</a>. I used some old Nescaffe can, put some self-adhesive black glossy wallpaper on it, and that Apple sticker which was bundled with my shuffle :) This is 1.0 version, in 2.0 I plan to put some foam in it and make travel case of it, so it could be multi purpose dock :)) Sorry on my english :)) </blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>Keep up the great work Aleksandar and I can't wait for version 2.0!</p>iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1165556272957473312006-12-07T21:35:00.000-08:002006-12-07T21:37:53.013-08:00make (re)discovers shufflephones<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/shufflehacks/316903731/" title="Photo Sharing"><img alt="remoteImage.jpg" height="159" src="http://static.flickr.com/103/316903731_989487e260_m.jpg" width="240"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.makezine.com/">Make</a> threw up a <a href="http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2006/12/shufflephones_d.html?CMP=OTC-0D6B48984890">post</a> on the phenomenon of shufflephones.

The 2nd generation iPod shuffle is an evenmore awesome MP3 player, and has an even better form factor, but lostit's ability to function as a USB thumbdrive without having to use thenew dock.<br/> <br/> The <a href="http://myincipio.com/product/IP-300">ShuffleBud, by Incipio</a>(which we think rhymes with C3PO), solves that problem, and it does itfor only $5.99 USD. The ShuffleBud is what Apple should have justtossed in the box to begin with, although I am starting to think thatApple deliberately omits certain features in order to keep themulti-billion dollar iPod accessory market thriving, which isn't such abad thing. <br/> <br/> ShuffleBud is just a small (5.6 grams, 47mm X 16mm)USB to 3.5mm adapter that enables you to plug your 2G shuffle directlyinto an available USB port without having to use the iPod shuffle dock,making it much more convenient to shove in your pocket or clip to yourbag with the included lanyard loop for those who are always on the goand don't need more gear <EM>in</EM> their bag.<br/> </blockquote>Seems like a nifty little thingie for those of you who have moved into the 2nd gen.<p style="text-align: right; font-size: 8px">Blogged with <a href="http://www.flock.com/blogged-with-flock" target="_new" title="Flock">Flock</a></p></div>iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1164443398860897742006-11-25T00:20:00.000-08:002006-11-25T00:37:33.626-08:00shuffalert: woot.com selling 1st gen shuffle alarmclock $19.99 today only.<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p/><p><a href="http://www.woot.com/Images/Sale/iHome_iH18W_Portable_Travel_Alarm_Clock_for_iPod_ShuffleOSM-detail.jpg"><img class="thumbnail" src="http://www.woot.com/Images/Sale/iHome_iH18W_Portable_Travel_Alarm_Clock_for_iPod_ShuffleOSM-thumbnail.jpg"/></a></p> <p>I know thses sales only last one day but I picked a couple of these up today as it seemed like a good use for a first gen shuffle that may soon be put out to pasture when our new hotness second gen shuffles get here from Santa. </p> <p>Get one (or three) while the getting is good and maybe we'll see some hacks out of these one day. <br/> </p> <a href="http://www.woot.com/Blog/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryId=1764">iHome iH18W Portable Travel Alarm Clock for iPod Shuffle </a> <br/> <p>PS, <a href="http://www.woot.com/">Woot.com</a> rulezorz!</p> <p>PPS, If you are reading this more than a day after it was posted the sale is over. <tear> Maybe woot will relist them someday.</p> <p/><p style="text-align: right; font-size: 8px">Blogged with <a href="http://www.flock.com" target="_new" title="Flock">Flock</a></p></div>iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1163053315347081502006-11-08T22:12:00.000-08:002006-11-08T22:28:43.453-08:00How-to hack your own iPod shuffle USB adapter<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ipod-fun.de%2Fcontent%2Fview%2F2565%2F80%2F&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools"><img alt="" border="1" height="153" hspace="4" id="vimage_1" src="http://static.flickr.com/111/292852296_59d532ceba_m.jpg" vspace="4" width="285"/></a></p> <p>Engadget has the hook up on some crazy germans who have hacked their own headphone to USB charging adapter.<br/> </p> <p><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ipod-fun.de%2Fcontent%2Fview%2F2565%2F80%2F&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools">Read</a> (Engadget)<br/> </p> <p style="text-align: right; font-size: 8px">Blogged with <a href="http://www.flock.com" target="_new" title="Flock">Flock</a></p></div>iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1162890293607693082006-11-07T00:55:00.000-08:002006-11-08T22:30:33.416-08:00iPod Shuffle Gen 2 (New One) Travel Case<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>iPod Shuffle Gen 2 (New One) Travel Case</p> <p><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/EL9K4714B7ETVPMFFC/?ALLSTEPS"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/120/292853371_4d8b1bd681_m.jpg"></a></p> <p><a class="bright" href="http://www.instructables.com/member/betoldi/" style="font-weight: bold;">betoldi</a> over at Instructables give the lowdown on an easy (if you own them) case for the 2G (G as in Gen nor GB which had me way confused for a good few days.

Just yesterday we brought you 2nd Gen iPod shuffle Phones and today we're up to version 2.0 which was sent in by reader Douglass Scott. He made an adjustment to alow the shuffle to fit on larger headphones but I'll let him talk.<br /><blockquote>Saw Alexander Micek's 2G shuffle hack and thought I would try my own. The shuffle won't clip directly onto my Sony noise canceling headphones (MDR-NC50), so I needed to create a bracket to do the job. The end product works okay; the iPod is a little loose on the bracket, but it's good enough for long flights. This was a quick and dirty job, but my local hardware store has some thin stainless steel bands that might clean this hack up. Enjoy, DS <br /></blockquote><br />Great job Douglass and I'm anxious for your next hack!<br /><br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/shufflehacks/291138510/in/photostream">link</a> (flickr)iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1162788076661583812006-11-05T20:32:00.000-08:002006-11-20T22:42:59.926-08:002nd Gen iPod shuffle Phones<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/shufflehacks/290215659/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/104/290215659_1b4be4cf93_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="2nd Gen Shufflephones" /></a><br />Alexander Micek decided to create his own version of the shufflephones using a 2nd generation shuffle. <br /><blockquote><br />I used my trusty Sennheiser HD 212 Pros, which as you may have noticed from the specs, have an unusually long cord. 10 feet, to be precise. I had to wrap ten feet of cord (should I say it again?) to make this work … ideally, I’ll be able to source a shorter y-cable. That said, the “startlingly bassy” HD212’s silver color matches the iPod’s anodized aluminum quite well, and the clip holds the iPod on with reasonable security. This wouldn’t be good for exercise, but it’s quite usable for studying and similar activities.<br /></blockquote><br /><a href="http://www.tumbledry.org/issue/610/">link</a> (tumbledry.org)iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1152427597048510472006-07-08T23:41:00.000-07:002006-07-08T23:54:00.446-07:00iPod Shuffle Cover from Travel Band-Aid Box<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><blockquote cite="http://charlie.mote.googlepages.com/ipodshufflecoverfromtravelbandaidbox"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/74/185303434_2450fdcf39_m.jpg" /></blockquote><p class="citation"><cite cite="http://charlie.mote.googlepages.com/ipodshufflecoverfromtravelbandaidbox"><a href="http://charlie.mote.googlepages.com/ipodshufflecoverfromtravelbandaidbox">csmNotes - iPod Shuffle Cover from Travel Band-Aid Box</a></cite></p> <p class="citation"><cite cite="http://charlie.mote.googlepages.com/ipodshufflecoverfromtravelbandaidbox"><a href="http://charlie.mote.googlepages.com/ipodshufflecoverfromtravelbandaidbox"><br /></a></cite></p> <p class="citation">Reader Chaz sent in this awesome Band-Aid shuffle cover hack!</p> <blockquote>First off, credit to <a href="http://www.uneasysilence.com/archive/2005/07/3826/">Derek</a> who posted the idea way back in August '05.<br /><br />I found a ridiculous deal on 1G iPod Shuffles at Brand Smart back in November '05 (more than 35% off list; apparently they figured out they were losing money becuase they now price them at market.)<br /><br />I couldn't justify (still can't) the cost of a bigger digital music player, but at the price I found them, and with this home-made cover and a cassette deck adapter, both my better-half and I have music in our pockets (and when I find some decent water-proof headphones, music to take into the pool for work-outs) and in the car for less than the price of the cheapest hard-drive based player (not including any accesories.)

I just got a iPod video and wanted to hook it up to the TV. I didn't have the "Official" ipod video cable but I did have the one from my Sony Digital 8 camcorder. I tried to hook it up but it didn't work. I then pulled the plug out a bit and got a scrambled video signal. I then switched the cables around to see if one of the others had the video signal. Success. It turns out with my particular Sony video cable that while plugged into the iPod the RED cable gave me the video signal and the Yellow and White gave me the sound. Hurray for the hacker spirit! It's always nice to save money when you can. (That Xbox 360's not getting any cheaper.)<br /><br />-Jim<br /><br /><br />[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/shufflehacks/64079977/">link to flickr photo page</a>]iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1132198903797648732005-11-16T19:41:00.000-08:002006-01-02T07:28:02.246-08:00Aluminum shuffle Case from Cardholder<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/shufflehacks/sets/1384045/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/28/64082757_0af7b3cc35_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><br />Giles sent in his wicked aluminum shuffle case mod. He wrote:<br /><blockquote><br />It was constructed useing a business-card holder and the packing material used in tool cases (which acts *very* nicely to hold my shuffle - named Sadako - in place, it must be said). The case is aluminium, and the hole for the earphone jack was very easy to drill neatly. I'm very happy with how this one turned out. There's no burrs present on either side of the hole at all.<br /><br />Due to the small size of the case, theres no real room to store the earphones when not in use, but this is no real trouble. It's very nice to see the "oohs" and "aahs" it gets when I pull it out of my pocket, and the catch makes a very secure/reassuring "click" when it closes. These are payoff enough for the loss of storage space.<br /><br />The only other thing of note to mention was that I made a mistake when constructing it, and drilled the hole and cut the foam such that I actually created a "left-handed" tin accidentally. Of course, it makes no real difference, and its posed no problem, but it just took me by surprise when I realised.

It all makes senes. Thought you might be intersted.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.uneasysilence.com/archive/2005/07/3826/">link</a>]<br /><br /><blockquote>You’re probably asking why the Band-Aid case? Well Shuffle listeners are usually pretty active. With this case, you don’t need to worry about finding a Band-Aid for times when you spazz out on the street while dancing or trip over weights while gawking at that hottie at the gym.</blockquote><br /><br />Derek</p>iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1119975721783856812005-06-28T09:19:00.000-07:002005-06-28T09:28:03.703-07:00Apple quietly cuts 1GB iPod shuffle price<a href=""><img src=""></a><br />via <a href="http://ipodlounge.com/">iPodLounge</a>:<br /><blockquote>In addition to its bigger announcements of iTunes 4.9 and its new color screen iPod lineup, Apple today quietly dropped the price of the <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=BrQZ*twhi68&offerid=77305.62&type=2&subid=0" >iPod shuffle 1GB</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=BrQZ*twhi68&bids=77305&type=2&subid=0" > to $129, from $149.<br /><br />The price cut is seen as a move to boost sales and distance the device away from the lower-end iPod mini model. It is widely believed that the 1GB iPod shuffle model was not a big seller due to its close pricing to that of the $199 4GB iPod mini, despite lacking several of the mini’s features.<br /></blockquote><br />[<a href="http://ipodlounge.com/index.php/news/comments/4609/">link</a>]iiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1119812658070628222005-06-26T11:46:00.000-07:002007-01-23T00:56:17.650-08:00shufflehacks DIY Marketplace Now Open<img src="http://photos16.flickr.com/21701438_2b0e92d321.jpg"><br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/peterkaminski/11843486/">original image </a> by <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/peterkaminski/">Peter Kaminski</a><br /><br />While I was going over my blogger template for shufflehacks I was rearranging my google ads, my TechRestore ads, and my Apple & iTunes ads and I realized that what we really needed was a spot for fellow shufflehackers to be able to advertise their own DIY shuffle products. I decided to dedicate some space right at the top of shufflehacks specifically for this need. I am calling it "shufflehacks DIY Marketplace" but all it really is is a space for people's links who are making a go of selling things they make on their own for the iPod shuffle. This isn't like some sort of "pay-for-links/ads" thing. The links there are free to those who I feel deserve the extra publicity. If you feel like your DIY iPod shuffle product fits this category please use the submission links provided in the Marketplace. The other advantage I see to these over something like Google AdSense is that these will 'fly under' the radar of those ad-blockers I know you all are smart enough to use. (I use PithHelmet for Safari and NetNewsWire Lite myself.) <br /><br />So get to it and let's build a nice economical ecosystem for those brave enough to put out a DIY shuffle products.<br /><br />-Jimiiimjiiimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687435.post-1119674129150475382005-06-24T21:22:00.000-07:002006-03-06T15:21:04.283-08:00Full-Length, Full-Res Movie Running off an iPod shuffle<a href="http://videothing.blogspot.com/2005/06/full-res-feature-length-film-playing.html"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3463/55/320/movie_on_shuffle.jpeg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />A sharp-eyed reader tipped me off to <a href="http://videothing.blogspot.com/2005/06/full-res-feature-length-film-playing.html">this post</a> by <a href="http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0927812/">Wiley Wiggins</a> on <a href="http://videothing.blogspot.com/">Video Thing</a> (he played in <a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0243017/">Waking Life</a>). He, I mean "his friend" apparently encoded a full-res, full-length DVD to the Quicktime 7 H.264 format and them copied and ran the 800 MB file straight off the shuffle over USB [2?]. Don't get too excited yet since it took 9 hours to encode but hey you can always "Set it and forget it". (And only one person needs to do this "these days" right?) He likened it to the feeling he got at the time he first started encoding CDs to MP3 for their smaller file size. He claims it is FULL-RES. Looks like H.264 might be a butt-kicker. (Now I sit and wait for the "shuffle with a screen" comments.)
