What is there to say about the iPod shuffle that hasn't already been said in all the other reviews.So here are the five things *I* like best about it:It's small and lightweight and goes right into my shirt pocket.It's inexpensive so if i lose or break it or if it is stolen no big deal.I can use the controls without looking at it.It holds just the right amount of music.Sand doesn't mess it up at the beach.The charge lasts a long time.Okay, so that's six.Anyway, I've had my shuffle for 2 1/2 years and I still love it.
I love my Shuffle Ipod. I'm not real good at the computer stuff, but this was very simple, so if you're worried about that, don't be. I get to listen to my songs and no commercials.
Before getting the Ipod I would get bored with my workouts. I'm so glad I got it. I use it mainly for working out.
I loaded it with mostly upbeat, workout songs and I'm working out more than I ever did. I was using a walkman, but then I had to listen to the radio and deal with commercials, static, etc. Since getting the Shuffle, my workouts are a breeze and I actually enjoy them.
It's also very easy to download CD's or get songs off of Itunes. If you just want to have some music to listen to and no other fancy gadgets, this is definiitely the Ipod for you and the price is right.
As for being used, I was told to return it for a refund. Instead of sending a 2 GB new product, as advertized, the vendor sent a 1 GB used product. When I informed him, he replied that I should have read the fine print in the "Comments" section, which indicated it was a 1 GB instead of two. Too much of a hassle to stand in line for a half hour at the Post Office, only for a refund, so I'm living with it. Disappointing service.
It certainly brings a smile to my face when I listen - especially with the song shuffle option - I'm listening to 70's Eagles, 80's Def Leppard, 90's Goo Goo Dolls to today's Nickelback with a mix of today's country and pop. It took some time, but I finally imported all my 80's rock CDs and my current favorites on my Shuffle. It's so cool that I have about 400 of my all time favorite songs on this little piece of technology, with room to add about 100 more. I'm about to be 40 and I definitely recommend this to everyone my age. It's very easy to operate and even easier to enjoy.
I purchased this shuffle specifically to go with a new head set made by Arriva. The shuffle fits directly into the wrap around ear buds - no wires, weighs almost nothing. It plays for longer than expected without recharging.
