Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB White (1st Generation) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Product Packaging:Standard Packaging
Who'd have thought a music-listening revolution could come in such a sweet, compact package? Apple, again, leads the charge with the new iPod shuffle, a digital audio player about the size of a pack of gum, that...
It's tiny, easy to load (and/or reload), and the sound is great
Extremely small, amazingly light, great battery life, good sound, very inexpensive, and easy to use.
First off, let me say that the sound from the iPod Shuffle is great
This iPod is great for first time users, you'll get an outstanding player with awesome sound, extremely light weight, easy-to-use controls, and all around good looks.
here!The I-Tune software is not as easy to use as the window media player, but that is just meºIn conclusion I¡¦m very happy with the look of the I-Pod shuffler, the sound is great and it turns heads some-what
The Apple Shuffle is a very simplistic, well thought out and great sounding device
The supplied earbuds are very very good, but like most portables you can obviously get better sound quality if you upgrade to a more expensive set of headphones
And the sound quality is just as good as on a bigger iPod
If you have all your audio files in mp3, then iTunes will convert them to aac, but you lose audio quality that way (not an option for me).
The iPod shuffle is a great mp3 player for what it's meant to do
The idea of the Shuffle is to provide a cheap, effective flash drive media player and in this Apple has succeeded
If you are looking for a pretty simple, non-bulky, inexpensive mp3 player, this is the one to get.
A larger hard drive based player needs a screen to navigate a large library, but I'm starting to look at screens on smaller flash-based players as just a novelty.)6
Granted, this is a product oriented for people looking for a non hard drive/ flash based player, but in the end, it's just another way for apple to grab your money.
This device is very easy to use, very self explanatory on how to use it, and to understand the LED lights, Apple gives you a small little card with the iPod shuffle
The iPod Shuffle is a fantastic little device created by the genius designers at Apple.
Other than that, the iPod Shuffle is a perfect device for work, studying and just listening to music.
The Apple Shuffle is a very simplistic, well thought out and great sounding device
I have successfully (unfortunately) bumped the device into numerous things including the basement and my car door, and when I expected it to quit working it has kept on jugging
Ignore the reviews that talk of the pros and cons of owning this ipod... bottom line, Apple always makes a wonderful product, and the fact that it doesn't have a display isn't worth criticizing... its a beautiful design and if you want a display screen fork out the extra money for a larger ipod...
It is a great product and I highly recommend it, but it is quite simply below my requirements at this point
Apparently this is yet another one of the bad products that Apple likes to keep hush-hush.
Other than that the Shuffle is a great product in my opinion, but decide for yourselves.
This is a great product which substantially reduces the affordability price point for iTunes, and I highly recommend it.
The problem of finding a specific song can be solved by loading your songs in alphabetical order.
If you load the software, which on the first computer took 3 times to load correctly, on two computers, and them put the i-Pod in, you lose the songs you had on the mp3 player
I'm not hung up on the fact that it does not have a screen I did put a few favorite songs on
I can just tag the songs I want and drag them to the removable drive, what could be simpler than that?!?
You can put the *most* favorite of your favorite songs on it - good for when you don't want to keep pulling it out of your bag/pocket/wherever to change the song - oh, but wait: it's already hanging around your neck!5
This thing was great for me, as I had less than a gigabyte of music
The most amazing thing about the Shuffle, bar none, is its weight
So the fact that the shuffle has no screen is a great thing for me
i havent charged it since i've had it, and thats been a week, and the battery still says its green (good)the only bad thing i can think of is the fact that when on shuffle mode, you will sometimes get a repeat song before you hit a song you haven;t listened
Addendum: Here's a weird thing I've noticed with my shuffle
The Apple Shuffle is a very simplistic, well thought out and great sounding device
And the sound quality is just as good as on a bigger iPod
With a Nano, by contrast, a case is, by all accounts, a necessity if you want to avoid scratches that spoil the look and, moreover, reduce the functionality of the tiny screen (which is a pity because a case hides the Nano's good looks and adds to its size).I use the Shuffle for audiobooks and podcasts as well as for music
And they are from mature companies who started making such players before the iPod was a gleam in Apple's eye
The sound is just as good as from the iPod Shuffle's bigger brother
People do not accuse the Porche 911 of not being an off-road vehicle or a boat, so why would you expect a music player designed around not having a screen, to have a screen.
However, the LIMITED features Apple designed on the 1GB shuffle lures many people to the Mini (if you can fork over another $50, you mind as well get the Mini for an LCD screen and a lot more features!)
More frugal people, however, will go with the 512 MB version, which is still a large amount
Most people put songs they know/like onto their playlist, so the lack of LCD isn't such a big deal
Some people sometimes complain that the only way to charge the Shuffle is through a USB port unless you buy an adaptor from Apple.
Most of my mp3's are on CD's because I simply don't have enough hard drive space to store them all.
The only positive I see with using iTunes is that its interface is nice, and it runs fast.
I fall into the latter category since I use the Shuffle to provide background while working out or on airplanes much like I use satellite radio when driving or the radio streams of Rhapsody while at the computer.
I bought my iPod shuffle after doing a good bit of research on both hard drive and flash based systems
In order to get it to mp3, you have to burn it to CD, and then copy it back to the hard drive.
