Great Sound Quality, Limited Functionalty, and Expensive BACKGROUND: I am an experienced mp3 player user, and my current other unit is a SanDisk Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 Player (Black). I bought a silver 1 Gb iPod Shuffle primarily to use at the gym; however, I will also comment about general usage as well. This is also the only Apple device that I have owned of any kind.
SETUP: There are two things to note about the setup process for the iPod Shuffle. Neither of them is complicated, but they are annoying. Unlike most other mp3 players tha...

Nothing wrong with it, but others are more exciting. There is nothing wrong with this iPod Shuffle. However, as time has worn on, it's simply less exciting.
It wasn't actually updated on the September 2008 update, but some additional colors were added including this sharp blue.
Overall, the Shuffle still works great. You sync some of your favorite music to it, and then listen in order, or choose to shuffle it. I must admit that mine sits on my desk and isn't used very often, but it's still nice to have, for its amazingly s...

The 2GB Shuffle - Finally a Larger Starter MP3 Player from Apple!!! Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (2nd Generation)
Apple's iPod Shuffle finally has a higher-capacity big brother. This compact MP3 player was always great for active users who enjoy working out, running or music listening on the go. The new 2GB model offers consumers an Apple version of capacity the competition has been offering for a year. Great as a gift, extra player, or exercise companion.
Pros
- New 2GB provides better capacity at a lower price per gigabyte!!!!<...

THE UNTENDED UNDERLING IN THE iPOD FAMILY I wanted to buy a no-nonsense mp3 player to keep me company while running. No video, no funky display menus, no labyrinthine software to work with. If I wanted to spend half a day getting my music in order I'd shell for the 80 gig iPod.
So I got myself a Shuffle, by far the sleekest small pod in the market.
But boy did I regret it.
After the one-time registration and initialization (which is not optional) the lemon wouldn't get the songs on it, thanks to the i...

More bang for your buck At first I was hesitant to buy the shuffle, am I selling myself short, Will I miss the video feature of a full-size iPod? The only thing I have been disappointed about this product is the fact that I bought the silver one just two months before the purple one came out. This ipod is great for working-out and traveling, the other ipods are too bulky for these activities. I take it everywhere with me. I LOVE IT! Now if they can just stick more memory into that tiny little body.

useless So I got this as a Christmas gift and nobody really knows how much I hate the thing. Why anybody would want one of these is beyond me. You have exactly 2 choices. Option number one is click forward or reverse until you find the song that you want to hear, on a 1GB mp3 player that holds somewheres around 256 songs, you could be clicking up to 128 times (if the given song you want to hear is at the furthest point from where you currently are and if I am really good at math). Your other option i...

iPod Shuffle Review This product has turned out to live up to it's billing. It is simple to use, it was inexpensive to purchase, it stores am ample library of music, it is tiny and easy to carry around.
I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase.

Quit working after 4 months Quit working after only 4 months! While it comes with a 1-year warranty, you have to pay $30 shipping to get a replacement. Four months is a pathetically short lifespan!

Good if you want to sync to only 1 computer The good: It's small and it's an mp3 player. Perfect for the gym.
The bad: Make sure you set this iPod to the computer you want to use and use the most. If you have music libraries that are on various computers, like myself. Then you will need to merge yours into one.
You cant even plug this into another computer and listen to the music because it will ask you if you want to erase and reformat. That is total bs.
I'm swallowing Apples 10% restocking fee and will be returning ...
