The apple ipod is a second rate product from a third rate company.

Pros This product is very good for scrapping grease off frying pans.
Cons Even as a free gift it still wasted my time.
Recommended it? No

I didn't buy the ipod, it was given to me as a free gift from my bank. But trying to make it work was still an experience of aggravation. I bought my last mp3 player (non apple) 5 years ago and had no difficulty getting it installed and running. Even with 5 years time to improve things, the ipod... Read full review »

Good Player - Bad Software

bygeoji Jul 5, 2005

Pros Excellent sound quality. Rugged build.
Cons Forcefully deletes songs in your shuffle.
Recommended it? No

A lot has been written about the ease of use of iPods along with iTunes. But, in the case of iPod shuffle, I would say iTunes completely screws up an otherwise excellent player. My biggest gripe is that iTunes forcefully DELETES all the songs in your shuffle, if the same songs are not present in... Read full review »

Great Inexpensive iPod!

Pros lightweight, inexpensive, iTunes, small
Cons no LCD screen, nothing else
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this iPod shuffle a month ago, because I wanted an MP3 player that I could use with iTunes. I was very impressed with the new iPod! It is so small, and lightweight. It is just what you need, nothing that is hard to understand. The best part is the price though! Only $99 or less! The only... Read full review »

Pros Small, attractive, intuitive, affordable, all you really need.
Cons The earbuds don't fit all ears. Loseable parts. Easily dirtied (not for the anally...
Recommended it? Yes

I resisted buying an MP3 player for years. They're seemingly expensive for what they do & can hold, and generally strike me as being ugly & easily lost. iPods had some appeal, but the price is outrageous. Thus I would lug a discman & a caselogic full of CDs everywhere.

Then comes the... Read full review »

Great marketing, lousy product

Pros None. It won't work.
Cons Doens't work.
Recommended it? No

It doesn't work.

Ok, that is the "short version". The long version is that after 7 hours of trying to make it work, trips to the "Apple store" only to be partronized by the employees, they bottom line is that the software will not update (as required), the documentation is pathetic and... Read full review »

Pros Sleek Simple Small Long battery life
Cons not much control of what song plays
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned several mp3 players but never any apple products. This was the first one that I bought. It is a durable and rather spontaneous player.It is a sleek and simple item. I will only buy apple products from now on. I have found that it is very portable and the battery life is excellent. One... Read full review »

Pros Light, Easy To Use, Durible
Cons Sometimes I have trouble swithch from shuffle to non-shuffle, No display.

This summer I went to go see Radiohead up in Berkeley. We made the trek up there enjoyed the merryment that was San Francisco and witnessed one of the more amazing nights and experiences of my life. The next night I wanted to relive some of that experience so I whiped out my 40 gig 4th generation... Read full review »

Pros The unit is Small and cool looking. Sound quality is great.
Cons The product was not as reliable as I expected for the price.
Recommended it? No

I purchased my Shuffle 512 in March of 2005 and it worked great until October 2005 when it stopped communicating with my computer and would not charge. Apple sent a refurbished unit under warranty and it worked until the end of November 2005 when it started getting very hot and would not charge... Read full review »

Great Little Player BUT...

bydeb324 Apr 27, 2006
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Very easy to use; and I like using iTunes, loading songs onto it is simple
Cons the switch plate is just a bad design. No LCD display, sound could be better
Recommended it? No

Beware of the switch plate on back. Second day that I had it it fell off. When I put it back on I could no longer shut off the iPod. The switch plate would not stay on, and eventually I lost it. I am still using it (I just have to keep charging it) but I don't expect it to last long with the chip... Read full review »

Not a product for me or people that care about money

Pros Its size is a big plus
Cons Compatibility, no LCD, no drag and drop capabilities, and high long time cost
Recommended it? No

A couple of days ago I bought one from Target for $69.99 plus a workout brace for $29.99. I like its size and weight but it was so hard to move songs from itunes or any other player to it. I finally decided to give it another chance but when I found out that after 400 cycles where a cycle last you... Read full review »
