 Simple but compact and excellent |

| I picked the Shuffle for my wife because she wanted an simple music player, had no interest in pictures or videos, and needed a device that was easy to sync with straightforward software. I have experience with several MP3 players used on Windows platforms, and I knew she would be frustrated with the downloading issues. The Shuffle works perfectly. It is easy to sync with iTunes, it is very compact and can be clipped to a T-shirt, it holds plenty of music for her purposes, and the sound quality is great. If you want just music, a compact device, and simple operations, the Shuffle is for you. |

I already have an iPod classic that's large enough to fit my 10,000 song collection onto it. I purchased the new iPod shuffle because I got really tired of holding onto my chunky Classic when trying to go running, and the sleak clip-on design of the Shuffle was just what I needed. I have no complaints. I essentially use it to play a specific playlist that I've developed in iTunes so I don't need a screen to tell me what I'm listening to. And I don't need it to be able to hold 1000 songs since I only go through about 10-20 in one workout period.
The volume goes as high or as low as I need it. There is a toggle switch to turn the "shuffle songs" feature on or off which is nice so that I don't get tired songs being played in the same order over and over again.
The overall usability is just as simple as I need it to be while I'm jogging. It's clipped onto my pants or my sleeve or my pocket and I can quickly press whatever button I need to take care of business without having to break my stride. And I've never had it come off which is what I was worried about the most.
The only thing that didn't work for me was the earbuds. They tend to hurt my ears, and when running they work their way out of my ears completely. So I just invested in a pair of earbuds that wrap around my ears.
Some folks have issues with the fact that you can only charge it through a computer. This has not been a problem for me seeing as I update the playlist often and the shuffle recharges while I'm doing that. But the battery rarely runs down regardless.
I highly recommend this product if you're just looking for a simple, inexpensive MP3 player to have on your body without it getting in your way. It's worth every dime. |

I am a Senior citizen and not familiar with the new electronic gadgets
or computers that are on the markets these days. Not to mention afraid
to venture in this direction. Well I decided to step out of the box and
join a gym, get in shape and get a computer. Then I found out about the
Apple Ipod shuffle, just what I needed for the gym. Had a little trouble
figuring out how to put music on it, but Apple Support Centre helped me
and now I can help my other senior friends as they all want an Ipod now
that they have seen mine. I just love the compact size and the music is clear and it inspires me to walk. |
Apple iPod shuffle 1gb (2nd Generation) review

I bought 1 iPod shuffle for my 18 year old daughter for her birthday. When I received it in the mail and opened the box to look at it before I wrapped it up for my daughter I thought the iPod was missing. My 16 year old daughter started laughing and picked up and handed me the iPod. I thought it was just the belt clip it was so small!! I joined iTunes so she could download music I told her I wanted to check out the quality of sound man was I blown away with the sound quality. As a matter of fact I am going to buy one for myself the sound is that great. Also the price is right I have a mp3 and the difference between it and the iPod is about the same as compairing an
8 Track player against a CD player.

I own the IPOD shuffle as well as an 80gb classic. I was reading the reviews of the shuffle and was somehow aggravated. The IPOD shuffle was not designed to be used as mass media music collection storage device. If you want that then you will need to purchase the big boy (classic). The IPOD shuffle is perfect for use when running, working out, or just a brisk morning walk.
It is smaller than a pack of matches and you never even know that you have it. It took me all of about 20 minutes to add the music from I TUNES to it. You can open i tunes and throw in your favorite cds, and it will copy the songs to the shuffle. I have 200 songs on mine and really did not pay a dime for any of the songs.
There is some negativity about not being able to copy music not purchased through I tunes into the i tunes library. Well I have an extensive music collection and not all of it was purchased through i tunes.
Solution to the problem, I just burn my favorite songs to a discs and then i tunes will copy mu songs into the i tunes library from the discs.
All in all the IPOD shuffle is a top of the line music player, it is not complicated and there is not onscreen display, that on most cheaper mp3 players is just plain aggravating to navigate through. If you are on the market for an MP3 player : buy the shuffle! Small, easy, and portable.
My children love theirs! They rock on road trips.Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Bright Green (2nd Generation)
