...show and advance through slides, then fade to black. You can raise the volume remotely if you have multimedia slides.

...mistaken for its larger cousin. There's no screen on which to view the song currently playing, and it holds only 126 tracks. (A $150 model doubles that capacity.) It's called the Shuffle because that's the best thing you can do with it: stick it into the USB port of your computer, and it will quickly download a new random selection (or a particular playlist) from the iTunes jukebox.
