Ka-Put!
I got this two Christmas's ago. Even though iTunes can be temperamental I loved having this! I primarily used it when I went to work out. One day, I'm at the gym and I turned it off for a couple minutes to talk to someone. I go to turn it back on and two lights just flash back and forth. Then iTunes doesn't even recognize it! It says it needs to be restored. So I clicked "restore" and then it says it's unable to restore due to an "unknown error." I look into sending it to Apple to get it fixed but it would cost as much to buy a new one as it would to get it fixed! I just couldn't believe it was go kaput just like that. Not to mention Apple's has the worst navigation on it's website.. you have to click through seven pages just to get a simple question answered! does what it says It does exactly what it says it does (thus 5 stars) but IMO get a Nano instead as it's only slightly more expensive, has many more features yet still gives you the same shuffle feature. This is a great answer for your parents or grandparents though who want to listen to music while they take their morning jog or walk though because it really is easy to use. Nice I have not had any problems with this IPOD what so ever... It is perfect for I use it for. not fancy, but hard core I have had my shuffle for two years now and have dropped it a thousand times. it still is running. It may not be the ipod video, but it does rock. My songs fit on it and i still have room for more. This iPod is overrated. The iPods are a great line of music players, and I respect that. Sadly though, I was anything but impressed with this iPod. Apple tries to trick people saying "Oh yeah, random is the new order." Anybody who's smart knows that they just said that [...] as an excuse for no display. This would be a great flash-based MP3 player if only they had a display! It's so annoying when you put an album on your iPod, find out about a song you like and then want to know who does it. Then you look down and say "Oh, silly me. I forgot! I don't have display! But that's alright...random is the new order!" Even the new iPod shuffles don't have displays. The iPod shuffle though, is a pretty good player overall. The battery life is decent and the iTunes software is incredibly easy to use. The ear buds have very good quality, and the unit itself is very easy to use. It doesn't need batteries either, but this can also be a con, because it means once your lithium-ion battery dies, then you have to either buy a new iPod or pay [...] to replace it! A radio would have been nice, along with a voice recorder and equalizers. 2 of my family members have Scandisk Sansa M230s that have these features and cost only [...]. The iPod is a great player, but consider other brands as well. Also, I filled this thing up in an hour (not kidding). I get bored of music pretty quickly, and this thing can only hold 12 albums. If I could go back now, I would definitely go for a 30 GB video. | |
