I'm not hung up on the fact that it does not have a screen I did put a few favorite songs on

Updating songs in Itunes is hit or miss, sometimes they show up, sometimes they don't, the spreadsheet style of sorting being the only option blows

I love the shuffle versus other players, because it gives me a chance to listen to all my music, whereas if I could see the song I was listening to, I'd be more apt to go straight to my favorite songs and never listen to all the other great songs I have

While you can't carry around your entire CD collection, you can carry around your very favorite songs from your collection, which is how I've been using it

- it combined some Frank Sinatra, Dave Matthews, and Ani Defranco along with free weekly itunes songs..

The Autofill feature will randomly load songs to the Shuffle if you don't feel like adding the 240 songs yourself.

Those particular songs played perfect in iTunes, Music match, Real Player, Portable CD player, iRiver Flash Player etc

It holds more than enough songs to keep me happy for at least a week without hearing the same song

The ipod is light and hangs around my neck so there is no trying to find a place for it in my bad and/or losing the song as the earbuds get ripped out of the ipod or my ears.4

It holds enough songs that you can listen to it all day before you start hearing songs again.

The device has no trouble playing very long songs, but for me, scanning through a 2 hour DJ mix can be painful and I just find the experience better using relatively short songs.

17+ hours of only my favorite songs

About another 30 minutes I had downloaded into my shuffle about 50 of my favorite songs that I transfered from my windows media player into itunes software library (it was a zinch!)

I was content in plugging my earbuds into my ipod and turning it on to my favorite songs in between classes.

If your most favorite of favorite songs change, wipe out your whole list and start

Anyway, 120 songs is sufficient

I own the larger iPod(10,000) songs and love it.

Handling is very easy and listening songs is usually the best in Apple ( which everyone knows

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

You can choose it to fill up with more of your favorite songs, or you can just dump whatever you want on there (in case you aren't too keen on your partner's favorites as in my case)

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

For me, it's put it on my laptop USB port, clic Autofill, which selects my favorite songs in my librairy, and go

Supposedly because the songs must be available when you sync your shuffle.

The problem of finding a specific song can be solved by loading your songs in alphabetical order.

(stopping to listen to other good songs it brought up of course) I have my eye either on a Nano or Video these days

life should be, but I'm tired of my music cutting off in the middle of a good song after I charged it for FOUR

Or it is designed to favor iTunes encoded songs and AAC.I tried everything possible like resetting, restoring etc but no luck

You don't get to choose your favorite song or artist as with the other ipods

(Some reviewers here who have slammed it don't seem to understand that different people have different uses for a device).In addition, if you are away from a computer for a long period of time, the Shuffle might not be the best since a computer is needed to refresh the songs on the Shuffle and is the easiest way to recharge it.

Also some songs caused the ipod to freeze up, im not sure if this was the songs or the ipod though.

An LCD would be nice to know battery life, song selected etc.

Of course, you give up the screen with the shuffle, so finding the exact song you want isn't as easy.

I can just tag the songs I want and drag them to the removable drive, what could be simpler than that?!?

Some people believe that 1GB (240 songs at 4 minutes and a recording rate of 56 to 128 per song) may not be enough for the average joe

I don't need to listen to every single song that I have, so the 1GB gives me more than enough room for my favorite 130+ songs.

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

the only drawback is those times when you really, really want to hear a particular song (like when you want a friend to listen to a particular song), then, the 1gb of music is torture to skip through.still, a 5 star product.

If you have lots of favorite songs, and not just 12, you will like all the songs you put on the shuffle
