 Ipod as fashion accessory July 4, 2008
For my wife's birthday, I got her a purple Ipod Shuffle (1 gb) and gave her my Grado SR 60 headphones for stationary listening (the stock ear buds are for on the go--we do need something better, though). She loves the Shuffle. It is tiny, clips on to a shirt pocket or collar, and holds a lot of tunes. As many are now eschewing full length CD's for downloaded singles, one can pick just the songs that one desires. Nice. In an informal survey in one of my classes, almost all of my students preferred downloading what songs they wanted and had pretty much stopped purchasing regular cds. I still buy cds--regular and SACD--but I'm used to buying albums, not singles (okay, when I was a kid, I used to buy 45's).
The Ipod shuffle is easy to use. It is highly portable and small. The sound is adequate. One could use a headphone amplifier and better headphones, but that just takes away from the portability. The Shuffle sounds pretty good with Grado SR 60 cans (but they are big and the cord is rather too robust). Anyway, my wife is happy (and thus, so am I).
You can't go wrong with the Ipod Shuffle. It looks good, sounds good, and is easy to use. Now, I just wish that I had sprung for the 2 gb version. C'est la vie.
Great Little Ipod July 2, 2008
Its Great for an Ipod this Small, If you need to do exercise, this is the ipod for you.
 Was it Amazon or Apple's fault? June 27, 2008
Let me first say that I love this shuffle - it is perfect for moving around the house or taking a walk while being able to listen to tunes or podcasts. Sure, it doesn't hold as many songs as the big guys but for my use it's great. And when I get tired of the songs I am listening to, then I just go on to itunes and change them. No muss, no fuss.
The problem (and hence the 3 stars) was because the battery wasn't holding a charge even when I turned it off. Sometimes I only use it once a week and everytime I went to use it, the battery was dead. So I phoned Apple and their customer service is most excellent. They said that the battery should be holding its charge and they would send me a new one. They put a hold-charge on my credit card for the new one and once I returned the old one, they would cancel the charge. They sent the new one within a couple days with an easy return envelope (they paid all the shipping). Haven't had a problem yet with the new one but I have only had for a few days. Question is: does Amazon sell inferior products or was this just a fluke?
Great & cheap way to listen to your tunes! June 27, 2008
I bought the Shuffle after I lost my regular Ipod. I didn't want to pay 250$ again, so I got the 1 GB for 50$. Ok it sucks that it doesn't have a display screen for song names, but for that little money, it's a winner, especially that you can put all of the music you bought from iTunes. The sound quality is good, it's tiny so you can just put it in your pocket without feeling it, and you can clip it onto your clothes during your workout.
Shuffle June 26, 2008
I love the shuffle. I gave it to my husband for a gift because he is technically challenged and it is perfect for him.
