I have an ipod shuffle that I want to hook up to an emac. The shuffle won't fit into the emac's recessed USB plug, so I need an adapter. RadioShack sells a cheap extender for about $6 (which ir eally just a short piece of plastic about an inch long with a USB A plug on one side & USB B on the other) that would work, but it doesn't say if the adapter is USB 2.0 or just USB 1. Is there a difference in extenders between 1.0 & 2.0 USB or would both work the same

No telling, really. But here's the key: It's a Shuffle, it's small. Even if it travels at USB 1.0 speeds, it won't take THAT long to fill up. Go with it
5G 60GB video iPod
512MB iPod Shuffle
Westone UM1 Canalphones

Thanks! FWIW< I found one at Radio Shack (called the FlexiUSB) that is USB 2.0.
