Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • 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 meƒºIn conclusion I¡¦m very happy with the look of the I-Pod shuffler, the sound is great and it turns heads some-what

Reviews around quality (4.61 of 5)

  • okay, my only complaint is...sound quality
  • 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).

Reviews around price (4.60 of 5)

  • The price is extremely decent if you're not looking to spend $300 on an MP3
  • This is a great base mp3 player at a very affordable price.
  • It allows an incredibly small and light player at a great price.
  • If you're new to the MP3 player world, I would recommend the Shuffle as a starter, the price is right, and there is still lots of room for music.
  • Breaking news: The price on this recently dropped from $149 to $129.

Reviews around music (4.43 of 5)

  • Who would put bad music on iTunes and if you want to listen spcific music make a playlist
  • , i hardly know i'm carrying it, there's no commercial, no stupid djs, and only the music i want to hear
  • As others have covered here, it's a great and simple Music player.
  • I was looking for a simple yet sleek, light, inexpensive mp3 player that plays good music and the iPOD Shuffle delivers just that
  • The iPOD Shuffle weighs only 20 grams, costs only 149.00 USD (1 GB), plays great music and doubles up as a USB (2.0) storage device

Reviews around life (4.37 of 5)

  • Extremely small, amazingly light, great battery life, good sound, very inexpensive, and easy to use.
  • After nearly endangering my life and the lives of others in the car with me, I decided to just stick to the radio.2
  • It is so small and lightweight, I can hardly believe it still sounds so good and has such good battery life.
  • Very good design, very good battery life and real easy to use
  • but this thing is tough, sounds great, gets great battery life, and is rather affordable

Reviews around mp3 (4.13 of 5)

  • I've been looking for a great MP3 player for years, and this one definitely wins me over.
  • My mom bought a 128 Meg Audiovox mp3 player and its a joke to use
  • I bought this years ago and have since sold it, but I remember it being a great mp3 player.
  • The iPod shuffle is a great mp3 player for what it's meant to do
  • Look, if you're looking to get a great mp3 player and thinking "aha!

Reviews around player (4.03 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around device (3.98 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around product (3.94 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around song (3.94 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around battery (3.80 of 5)

  • Extremely small, amazingly light, great battery life, good sound, very inexpensive, and easy to use.
  • There are two reasons behind it having a reasonably good battery life
  • It is so small and lightweight, I can hardly believe it still sounds so good and has such good battery life.
  • The specs say 12 hours (I think) until the battery goes dead, but I'm sure I've been listening to it for way more than that.
  • The battery will degrade as you use it, but you'll have to do a lot of listening before the capacity drops below specification

Reviews around thing (3.66 of 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

Reviews around ipod (3.16 of 5)

  • I bought just when it was released because I dont like the regular ipod, its too heavy and expensive toy to go jogging with
  • I would recommend this iPod to anyone looking for an easy to use simple music player
  • If you are looking for an inexpensive iPod, then I would recommend this.
  • The sound quality is not as good as your regular iPod, but is very impressive for a player of it's size
  • If your looking for a cheap iPod and you don't want to get a new one, get this

Reviews around company (2.45 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around people (2.18 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around drive (1.72 of 5)

  • 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.
