Some people sometimes complain that the only way to charge the Shuffle is through a USB port unless you buy an adaptor from Apple.

I've read about people complaining that it breaks after awhile or the batteries die fast, but I've had no problems and certainly no complains to make

i see many people listing items like, no lcd etc.

I just wanted to report on this in case other people have experienced similar problems with this product

Most people put songs they know/like onto their playlist, so the lack of LCD isn't such a big deal

As for the issue of not having a display screen, I can see how that would bother some people, but so far, it hasn't been an issue with me at all.

People don't like the shuffle function

More frugal people, however, will go with the 512 MB version, which is still a large amount

The Shuffle only supports AAC and MP3 files up to 320 kbps, which is much more than what most people use (it also supports MP3 VBR files).

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.

And I've had probably 20 people ask me what's hanging around my neck

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!)

I don't see people being happy with this as their primary MP3 player

Some people I know complain that they always fall out.

In a nutshell, it's just another way for spammers and other sleazy people to steal your personal information.
