Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (2nd Generation)

Very happy so far. We had a bit of problems at first but all the bugs got works out.

First Ipod. Love it. Son was right. It sure is better than CD player. ONly thing bad is No written directions for programming. Web site not the most friendly to get directions off. Needed help on that. I do have to get new hearing plugs. They do not say in when working out. They should be a link item when ordering.

This was a last minute find for Christmas, and I have no idea why the pink one was such a great price, but sure glad it was! My daughter uses it when she works out and it is perfect for that with the little clip on built in!

The shuffle is the perfect size to use while running and that's why I chose it. Unfortunately its a horrible player.

It doesn't allow use of a standard mini-USB cable to upload songs. It requires the special base that you will need to tote from location to location to access the player and you have to use iTunes software rather than just simple drag-and-drop. Also finding a song can be a pain - you may have to click and listen, click and listen.... over a hundred times to find your song. I prefer my previous mp3 player that is also very small but allows you to drag and drop, uses a standard mini-USB, doesn't require a special base, doesn't require proprietary software, and has a small back-lit display to help find specific songs and has an FM radio and was cheaper.

I can only recommend the shuffle if you like iTunes software and only need to access the player from one single computer where the base is located.

This is my favorite Ipod because it best for working out, which is when I use it. It's small and I like the "shuffle" feature, since it lets me listen to new music each time I plug it into my computer for a charge. The 1GB size was plenty for my use and holds enough music for 4-5 hours at least.
