HI Katie,

Yes, you can play Formats 2, 3, and 4 on a Shuffle. Just be sure to 
press Pause when you're done listening before switching to another 
track; that saves your place.
If you've been using Anapod Explorer, I would suggest restoring your 
iPod before you start using it with iTunes. As soon as you connect 
using iTunes and choose to sync with it, everything on the iPod that 
was transferred through Anapod Explorer will be erased anyway. All 
normal capabilities of the Shuffle will be restored when you connect 
using iTunes, but until you restore the Shuffle, tracks will play 
only in artist/album title order, not the order in which you transfer 
tracks to the Shuffle. This might not be a problem, but if you 
transfer a playlist, it won't play in order. So restore it, then 
transfer content using iTunes. Good luck.
Cheers,
Anna
