I have owned both shuffle and Creative Zen Stone plus. Below is a comparison.0. Both retail for 70$ and both are really very cute.1. Shuffle is apple while creative is not. So all the apple fans would buy it anyway.2. Shuffle has no screen, zen stone...

The iPod Shuffle is great, don't get me wrong. I owned the original version (the gum pack size unit) along with this one, but the overall idea is ruined by a couple of factors:* It's iTunes or nothing. Fat chance you can load anything on this puppy...

I loved my ipod shuffle. I used it to store music to walk to for exercise. It kept my hands free so I could walk with weights. But it only lasted 2 months and now it won't charge!!!! I have tried everything but sending it in for a new battery. Very...

I really wanted to like this thing. I love its size, its design, and its functionality. However, I can't get over the constant background hissing noise. You can't hear the hiss with the earbuds that come bundled with the shuffle, but it's quite audible...

Unfortunately, I never got to use it as the iPod would not charge. Looked very cute, but never got to use it...Returning for a refund......

I am not recommending this item. After less than two months use, it stopped working. Although the size and ease of use of this item is good, the performance of this item is terrible. I have a 1 GB Sony MP3 that is far superior in terms of performance....

The unit is cute, it is unobtrusive, and it dos not work as advertised. First you have to use i-Tunes to download to the shuffle. My unit would not interface with i-Tunes. There was a pop up on loading on the computer that said there was more current...

If you look over on the Apple site there are many people who have had the tip of the plug break off on this docking station. You might say "hey you broke it and its all your fault" The tip has broken off on my station and I wasn't abusive with my gear....

I download the new itunes, so i can't load the shuffle. I have had it for weeks and have not be able to use it once. goood luck......

I just receive an Ipod shuffle as a gift. I was so excited because I love the small size of it. It would be perfect for the gym. However, there is one major problem. THEY DON'T WORK! Within 30 minutes of opening the package, it stopped working. We took...

I recently broke down and purchased an iPod shuffle, thinking it was finally time to cave in to the iPod craze. After all, $79 is a reasonable price for such a tiny, exercise-friendly mP3 player. However, I had no idea what a HASSLE IPODS ARE.Cons:1. NO...

Setup was so simple:* Plug it in and charge.* Install the upgrades.* Sync your music.Unfortunately, within the first hour it became permanently hosed. No music, just a blinking light. No luck trying to resync, clear and start over, or anything else. A...

Could not get this to work on my PC. Tried everything Apple recommended (for a week). Still nothing. Actually returned it, and I expect a partial refund (minus shipping costs)....
Review written on Jan 14, 2007
Bottom line - there are far better mp3 players out there for the same money. Don't buy this one.. keep looking. This player REQUIRES the use of iTunes meaning that one can't just drag and drop music into the player. This means installing this bulky...

Did you know that when you use Itunes to download or import CDs, the shuffle can only be used with one computer? That's right, if you do your work on one, you will have to erase and start over if you plan to use the shuffle with a different computer.No...
Review written on Dec 25, 2006
I am so disgusted with this product. I expected to be able to use it right out of the box but instead I have to wait 4 hours for the stupid thing to charge. It is basically useless until it's charged. I just think Apple should make this thing usable out...

First let me say that this iPod Shuffle is my first experience with an MP3 player. I don't listen to music much when I'm out and about but I've been flying for business more lately so I wanted something less bulky than my portable CD player. I didn't...
Review written on Dec 17, 2006
It's cute, but what's the point if they don't include a software CD? I can't get 7.0.2 to download (a requirement to use the product) and therefore, I have an $80 piece of junk. What a collosal waste....
Review written on Dec 17, 2006
If you use any higher quality headphones than the ones that came with the shuffle, be prepared to be disappointed. When you turn the shuffle on, without any music playing, you will hear a background noise which gets even louder during music playback. In...

This damn thing didnt come with a manual. It wouldnt charge no matter what. Now copying files from your computer to the i-pod is a mystery. Good luck figuring it out. There is no simple quick manual that comes with it. Didnt like anything about it, I...

If you buy anything overtly marketed as edgy and cool, you deserve what you get, and which do you want, a product that works as expected and is priced reasonably, or a product that is overpriced and bought by people to show off?Remember - In good design,...

This is a rewritten review. I give this product a FOUR STARS ****.I am unable to change the stars above. I saw many people reacting to my previous review and I found them right.Now, I only wish to say that this shuffle is an excellent replacement for...

I received my Shuffle on November 2. 2G is misleading so let's clarify that it is only 1 gigabyte. I gave it to Fedex for return on November 3 as it was classified as "dead on arrival". Yes I paid the +$55 for the year warranty which ensured me wonderful...

I loved this computer for the first week. Then, it died. Just blackout died completely. When I took out the battery, it started right up. Two months later it broke again. Same thing but the battery trick didn't work this time. When I took it in, they...

I bought a Macbook about two months ago, and I was very happy with it... until about three weeks ago, when it just started turning itself off. Completely randomly.Apparently, this is happening to many other people as well, judging by the chatter on the...

Google for "macbook sudden shutdown", you will know what I'm talking about.Apple doesn't have a solution yet.If I had bought it from local store, definitely I would return it to get my money back.Sending it to apple store? then I'll be without a computer...

I bought this for my Dad for his birthday. I was under the impression that this was used but in good condition. It was rated highly and had faith in this seller. When my father recieved my gift the headphones came broken. I was very disappointed and...
Review written on Jul 25, 2007
I received this as a gift last Christmas. It does not list the names of the tracks or the artist being played. It is way too small and therefore an inconvenience. I stuck it in a drawer somewhere last January and there it has been ever since. It is not...

Pros: Small size, bare bones simplicity. Cons: Poor instructions / execution of interface. Dock limits user choices....

Bought this asBirthday present for my 90 yr old wife who doesn't like gadgets. Worked just Ok for maybe 3 days and after I downloaded 4 albums, it would not work at all. Took to Apple store in San Joee. They are processing for replacement but must be...

Review written on Aug 25, 2007
Don't buy this unless you want to throw it away after the battery is dead. It cost as much to replace the battery as it does for the player. The battery is hard wired in an enclosed MP3 player....

I bought this product from another store. Within 8 months it quit working. The salesperson said they had a lot of problems but I liked its convenience and size so I just got a new one. It too broke within another month. This time the sales person said:...

I am deployed to Afghanistan so as it is you have to have anything electronic you want mailed to family in the US and mailed to you, no one seems to be willing to send any electronics to an APO, so I guess the thought of major companies is that if we did...
Review written on Nov 07, 2007
Broke on second day!!!!Altogether, I got maybe 2 HOURS use out of it before the ring controls stopped working completely. I can still turn it on & off & pause, but I can't skip selections, or go back, or increase or decrease the volume.After ALL the good...
