Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Purple (2nd Generation)

Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Blue (2nd Generation) Product was just great, plays nice and easy to load...

The shuffle is great. I received it as a gift and intended to use it mainly while running. It has worked out perfectly - so lightweight - easy to adjust volume and to switch to next or previous selections. Music sounds fine to me although I am not an audiophile and while running am not focused on perfect sound. Earphones that come with the unit are fine.

My daughter wanted a iPod shuffle to wear during track practice and so I bought her the blue one she requested. It's been great not only for track, but also for in the car when she's tired of listening to Moms music. Using iTunes has been easy and she's also added on songs from her own CD's. Overall a great little music player for the price and from companies that in my opinion have great customer service. (Amazon & Apple)

It's excellent for exercise. Sometimes I'd like to be able to search out a certain album or song a little more easily, and I wish it would turn off after a set amount of time (like at night), but overall it's a very nice little ipod. I definitely didn't need to get one of the big ones. For those people who have something against 'shuffled' music, know that it can also just play through everything in order from start to finish. You just have to update the music on it more often than on a regular ipod to make things more easily accessible.

If you like to listen to music while you work out or jog, this wonderful device is absolutely essential, especially if you don't want to lug around a portable cd player or a larger Ipod. You can fit over 200 of your favorite songs on the shuffle. Furthermore, at the bargain price of $49, this is a really good value.
