In the meanwhile I solved the problem that my Windows PC did not recognise the Shuffle player. I used the USB port on the backside of my PC, the ones direclty to the motherboard, and then the Shuffle player was recognised without any problem.
This afternoon I went to a local retail shop that sells real Apple Shuffles. I have compared them and there are more differences:
1) the real Shuffle has 2 control buttons, the first is the on/off button. The second one is the button to control the option normal play of Shuffle play. The Shuffle clone does not have this button, it allways plays shuffled.
2) On the real Apple Shuffle, the small spring that holds the clip is invisible. On the Shuffle Clone, it is possible to see about 1.5 mm from the spring end.
3) The on/off and shuffle/normal play buttons are made of aluminum on the real Apple Shuffle. On the cloen the (only one) button is made out of white plastic.
4) The position of the controls in the button control ring is on the clone like a mirror image from the original Apple
5) The clone costs 38 Euro, the Apple costs 89 Euro LOL
