 Well Worth It September 5, 2008
Jack Lappe (Houston)
The IPOD Shuffle is a gem. It's tiny. Slightly larger than the average wrist watch with a belt clip for convenience. I clip it to my tee shirt during workouts. Sound quality is outstanding, and i-tunes software is easy to understand and use. Store unlimited numbers of playlists in your PC, and use "autofill" to move them into/out of your Shuffle. A charging stand is included. It connects to a USB port on your PC. Ear buds also are included, however, I prefer headphones. The only drawback I see is that the Shuffle is so small and lightweight, it's easy to forget you're wearing it, possibly resulting in damage.

This is the third MP3 player I have owned. I had a 128MB Nike/Phillips for about 3.5 years before it finally kicked the bucket. I replaced that with a 8GB Creative Zen Microphoto. The ZMP was nice but I really wanted something that would be better for running/lifting/biking.
I was deciding between this and the Creative Zen Stone which was slighly cheaper at the time. I ended up going with the ipod because of the metal casing and the built in clip. I have really enjoyed the purchase and would definately buy another one if this ever broke.
PROS:
- Size: it is small enough that it doesn't take up much room and you definately don't notice the weight at all. At the same time, it is big enough that the buttons are easy to find without having to lookdown or "search around" with your fingers.
- Clip: I had armbands for both my Nike ZMP players which I wasn't to wild about. Armbands arn't bad if you are running or biking, but they can be a annoying when you are doing upper body lifts. The clip eliminates this problem.
- Memory: I find 1GB to be the perfect size. You can fit 200-250 songs which keep me entertained for a couple battery lives before I feel like switching them and giving myself something else to listen to.
- Build: The metal case is very nice looking and quite strong as well. I have dropped this sucker more than I would like to admit and it has never been a problem. Heck, I even dropped it into a sink full of water and it still works perfectly.
CONS:
- Shuffle. I don't know if it just me but it seems like I will hear some songs about 4 or 5 times before I hear some other ones. Not a big deal at all, don't let it discourage you from purchasing this, but if it were more balanced I would be even happier.

The shuffle is perfect for my needs. I'm a potter in a shared studio. Need something very small that won't fall into the clay. I really like Apple products.

I really like the shuffle. I had a Nano. When trying to change the song while running, changing the volume was difficult. It tended to FF or REW easily. Maybe if I wasn't concentrating so hard on just breathing!!! I gave it to my husband. The shuffle clicks vol. UP and DOWN. I like being able to clip it to my shirt or sportsbra and not having a band on my arm. I set my Nano on the treadmill and now it skips. I was told by a friend that when she asked apple about the same problem it messes up the hard drive from being jarred like that.
