old news
Why would you buy this one, when then new shuffle has 1G and is 1/3 the size.
This is last year's news.
you can get this for a better price
HAHAHAHAHA GUYS, YOU CAN GET THIS FOR LIKE 70 DOLLARS AT WALMART, AND IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME, WORKS THE SAME, AND PLAYS THE SAME! I was stunned when I saw the high price on here!
Software iTunes, not mp3
Great product, but I need to gripe about the iTunes software interface, it's not stable. If you are new to mp3s, then you will have little difficulty converting your music CDs into the apple format... But if you already have mp3s, you'll need to convert it to the apple format to play on the shuffle.
Battery life is great. Earbuds are low quality. There is also little bass response. Controls and functions are limited. Wished there was an equalizer to boost bass response, as well as LCD display screen, you can buy a regular mp3 player with these features for much less.
Disposable gadget of the minute
It's funny how Apple redesigns the iPod every 5 minutes. After I purchased the iPod Shuffle, I found out that it costs $10 less than a new iPod Shuffle to have the battery replaced. So this product is basically disposable. Once the battery dies, you throw it away or get a new one.
Also, the headphones are permanently attached, so you can't use your own. Other than that it's great.
iPod Shuffle
Gave as a gift. Excellent value. Tune capacity more than sufficient, easy to use and sound quality is right up there. Must get one for myself.
