My ipodApple 1 GB iPod Shuffle AAC/MP3 Player Metal (2nd Generation)is great.The headphones it came with are not at all good.They fall off your ears constantly. The disign and building is poor.Get better headphones, so we don't have to pay for an extra...

If you are new to the MP3 player technology, this is NOT, I repeat, NOT A GOOD PRODUCT FOR YOU. This player is only for those who already own and use an MP3 player. This is important because the Shuffle has no labels and its small size (book of matches)...

Great little player. The only draw back is the interface. iTunes leaves a lot to be desired. I am not a light weight when it comes to this stuff and I've used other interfaces but have never run into something so cumbersome....

I recently got this item for my sister back in India. The product is really cool, especially the size - very compact. But you don't have any control other than turning the shuffle on or off. If you really want to select songs u wanna ply, you have to go...

The shuffle is wonderful but it has a big comunication problem with the PC, it's just works in the random mode.In internet there is many information about these problems, but nothing help me to solve my problem.I hope than in a near future the problem...

Wow. You probably know all about the Ipod Shuffle already. This review is based on my experience with it - this may not be typical to all users, however I believe that many of these points are valid for all Ipod Shuffle of the 2nd Generation.The one I am...

Now that there's an affordable Nano available, The Shuffle should be deleted from the iPod line. Not being able to pick or choose songs really irritates me. If you don't care about the music chosen for you or the order it's played in, this is the iPod...

I just got my shuffle today and I wish I had known the following before purchasing: unlike other ipods, you cannot download music from your shuffle to a computer other than your own. Therefore, you cannot transfer songs to a friend's computer, even if...

I listen to podcasts more than music. I wanted an easy way to synch podcasts to listen to while I work out in the yard. I can do this in a bunch of steps (plug in Shuffle, delete current contents on Shuffle, drag and drop all podcasts into shuffle, wait...

The iPod Shuffle is extremely small and cute, but iTunes is not compatible with Vista, yet. I kept getting error messages when I tried to upload my playlist. Apple has a repair tool, but I could not get it to run. I'm sure it will work out eventually...

I got my first Ipod over two years ago as a gift and purchased this as an affordable second Ipod for running around. Aesthetically, you can't go wrong. It is cute and sleek and and integrating it into your Itunes library should be seamless. It wasn't....

First the good. The Shuffle's small size and large memory make it ideal for those who use an MP3 player primarily for workouts. I've been using a RIO for about the past year and a half and was excited about downsizing to the smaller Shuffle. Overall, the...

The Ipod shuffle is very chic. Its small, easily portable, and clips to clothing. The 1 gb version has plenty of storage for your songs. I mean honestly, how many songs can you listen to at any given time? I bought thisipod for my GF, but less than 3...
Review written on Jan 09, 2007
The Shuffle is simple to use and the gadget itself rates 5 stars. The size and design of this thing couldn't be better... it's just fun and draws a lot of comments. You can load this thing up with two complete audiobooks and have room to spare.As a...

This is 2nd flash mem mp3 player and my first ever ipod. In general I like the design of this fine piece of machinery. It's very small, sleek, sound quality is decent, and it seems to be somewhat robust. I would give this product five stars hardware...
Review written on Dec 18, 2006
The shuffle is one of the smallest MP3 players you can get (although not the smallest, as Apple claims). It's enclosed in a durable, aesthetically-pleasing casing and has an incredibly functional clip. This is pretty much the only incentive to get this...
Review written on Dec 17, 2006
Why does this cost $114.95? The list price is $79 and is even less at certain discount stores (I've seen it listed at $72). Apple's website and walk-in stores have the $79 price. Why would Amazon use a vendor like Proton that charges $35 more than list...
Review written on Dec 17, 2006
is it me or is this device built upside down? it seems like apple didn't notice that when its clipped onto your jacket or shirt the buttons are facing down and away from you...making it almost impossible to figure out which way the volume is going to go...

I have had my iPod Nano and Shuffle for 2 weeks and have yet to use them becuase the issues with getting iTunes installed due to older versions of Quicktime. I have used RegEdit, CCleaner, reintsalled almost every version of quicktimes and then...

Ok, just to confirm other reports... YES, there is a "hiss" in the new 2G Shuffle. I still love mine though. The 1st Shuffle does sound better. I still love mine.The "hiss" is noticeable when using high-sensitivity IEMs... Etymotics, Shure, and the like....
Review written on Nov 21, 2006
Picked up a 2G shuffle along with an 80gb Ipod yesterday. I had heard that the new shuffle had problems with sound quality, but figured people were blowing things out of proportion. Well, they weren't. The sound from the shuffle is very flat and dull...

PROS:1. Sleek design2. Good storage for size.3. Everybody says, "ooohhh"CONS:1. Small size, lost it about 2343 times.2. Low battery life....
Review written on Nov 14, 2006
If you're picky about sound quality and about bass on your audio then stay away from this one. The size and price compromise too much of the audio quality and I'm dissapointed at apple for letting this one slide. Thank God I just bought this iPod as an...
Review written on Nov 14, 2006
This is TOO small for my big hands. The edges of the control wheel that controls all the activities are about an eighth of an inch away from the edge of the shuffle - making it as difficult to handle as a needle and thread. I do admire the compactness...
Review written on Nov 06, 2006
The clip has no grip strength at all. if you run on a treadmill at the gym, it falls off your shirt sleeve in less than 5 minutes. Be warned....
Review written on Jul 16, 2007
I would love everything about the new iPod EXCEPT that I use it to go running (about 1 hour at a time) and the normal sweat from my body gets into the jack and ruins it.I had to replace my 1st generation iPOD 3 times due to sweating on it. The store...

This my firsrt apple computer and my overall impression is that it is convinient and user friendly laptop. The other laptop that I have is a thinkpad T42. Macbook seems quiter compared to T42. The body of T42, however, seems more sturdy. The thing that I...

First, don't hate me because I am a dyed-in-the-wool PC user. I've been using Microsoft and Windows for over 10 years.The new MAC commercials really got to me though and it really made sense to know a dual system. Besides, no virus worries/ nothing but...

Review written on Aug 27, 2007
It's tiny, it's pretty, it's cool.The only downside as I see it: it cannot sync with itunes to update podcasts. You have to do this manually. Given that it's supposed to be portable, this is just a huge design flaw. I use it for workout, but having to...
Review written on Sep 23, 2007
I liked the first generation iPod shuffle better. It was small enough and it could be used as USB flash drive without carrying shuffle specific USB cable. I do not see single advantage of second generation iPod shuffle over the first one....

This product is ok. It is a good starter ipod for a kid. Affordable. Quick shipping, good packaging....

Low-average for it's price, (Anything but the shuffle)...
Review written on Mar 13, 2007
Great size sound and clip, but if you are planning on using this often get something else. Battery won't hold a charge after 3 months of use. Apple makes great gadgets that last until there next product launch......
Review written on Feb 12, 2007
I love the size of this new iPod and how it clips onto your clothes easily, making it very portable..... and sadly that's about it. The sound quality is definitely a step down, even from the previous shuffle. You MUST use iTunes to put music on it and...
Review written on Feb 01, 2007
The first generation shuffle had a simple USB connector. You could carry it anywhere, charge it anywhere, sync it anywhere. It was a thumb drive as well as a music player. Brilliant.This one is smaller. That's nice. However, Apple has introduced yet...
Review written on Jan 19, 2007
I am on my 5th one, Apple stands behind their product and continues to ship me without charge new ones. The little units are handy and this a work around error so can continue to use. Suggest Apple's 2yr Protection Plan. Not the $59 one, instead purchase...
Review written on Jan 16, 2007
I purchased the IPOD shuffle as a birthday present for my son. Within 24 hours it had ceased to work. While connected to the PC with the power adapter, it became super hot. I returned it and got a new one.The new one worked fine for about a week. Then my...
Review written on Jan 09, 2007
OK, first off, I have NEVER had such a difficult time downloading songs onto an MP3 player!! You need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out!! My daughter loves it, when we can get songs synced onto it, but it is to confusing and you can only use...
