Hey ray! The iPod Shuffle is very limited in what it can do. You can basically put songs on it and it just randomly chooses your music for you. If you went up one model to the Nano 8gb, you will be able to store a lot more music, also add videos and pictures. They also have a camera on there, the quality of that is not anything special and is actually only 2.1 mega pixels, so the equivalent of an early model camera on a mobile phone. I would probebly suggest something like the Nano 8gb but you will be paying a little bit more for it! Hope that helps a bit!
