Didn't know it could be this good!
Pros
Easy controls, fantastic sound, fast file loading.
Cons
No screen, and silly battery exchange method!
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
If you don't mind the lack of screen, it's an excellent choice. Easy, light, tough, and fun. Awesome sound! I'll buy another!
I decided to take the dive and buy one because I've had my other mp3 player for awhile, and if it failed I wanted a replacement. I sure am glad I did!
I got mine a little cheaper because of a good deal at Circuit City (I think I paid about $73).
The whole thing is built a bit like a matchbook, and about the same size. This design allows you to clip it onto almost anything that it will fit around. Great on a purse or backpack strap. It seems to have a fairly sturdy spring, so it shouldn't come unclipped very easily (it has two teeth-like ridges that interlock). It's a solid little chunk of lightweight metal (aluminum?) so it probably is pretty tough. And pretty colors!
The controls are simple and intuitive. It has a button so you can switch between shuffling your playlist or playing it straight through.
It lacks a screen, so unless you remember every song in your playlist, you're out of luck identifying songs and artists.
The sound quality will blow you away! If you use iTunes, you can set your sound levels how you like them (like limiting it so you don't deafen yourself). But it has a very generous allowance for sound level. And it has sound quality that is superb (and I'm just using regular mp3, it's probably even better with AAC files). I'm astounded by the difference between this and my other mp3 player. Like apples (forgive the pun :P ) and oranges in the sound department.
The charge holds out for quite awhile, but you'd probably have to charge every other day if you use it daily. I also got a seperate wall charger so I don't have to boot up a computer every time to charge.
This is the one thing that really bugs me about iPods. When the battery just won't hold a charge anymore, I have to send it in for another one (and get back an entirely different iPod-so don't bother with engraving it!) and pay them $69. OR as I plan to do, go and buy a NEW Shuffle for $10 more.
Loading files on the Shuffle is much easier too. It has it's own interface system with iTunes which took me a little while to quite figure out. Although I can be clutzy with software at times, so it's probably just me. Once I did though, it's much faster and easier than my old player. One word of warning: Don't leave the iPod plugged in when you turn off your PC/Mac. I did and had to play around getting it recognized again.
If you buy one, be sure to be patient when you first hook it up. It takes awhile to charge up the first time, and do all the little updates and whatnot. You can go ahead and start loading music while it's charging though.
I had heard alot of people complain about the earbuds that Apple provides, so I had gotten some different ones, but really they're not that bad. I have been using them, and find them fairly comfortable.
Overall, I'm happy to be a PodPerson now.
