The bad things about that were the fact that the Discman skips, and I have to carry multiple cds around with me, if I want to hear more than 15 or so songs

Media Player asks when you delete a file, "From the library only, or from the physical disk also"The most annoying thing I found with my Shuffle experience is, during the installation of the Ipod software I noticed the Ipod becomes available as a "removable disk", so I thought COOL!

It's the easiest thing in the world to hook up to your computer, it charges fast, and it saves you money

The music is the most important thing and it is flat and uninspiring.

I would really recommend this to anyone (oh and another good thing about shuffle - no screen means less chance of it breaking!!!)

I ripped most of our CDs in apple lossless format, and the nice thing about this shuffle, is that I can downconvert automatically to 128 bit to fit more songs into the shuffle, so that it works out to hold quite as many of the songs I want as I could on my ipod

Although the actual hardware design is nice (probably why they're so popular) unless you want to be constricted in what you can do with an mp3 and be forced to use iTunes AND spend hours searching internet forums trying to find out how to just get the bloody thing to connect, stay away from ipods and buy a less trendy but less hassle mp3 player from someone else (you'll get more for your money anyway)

Also, great for those who use public transportation (I don't think this thing plugs into a car stereo like the other ipods).

I absolutely love this thing!

This thing is nearly perfect.

Best thing about this is that it plays AAC files, and also, it is small as hell.

biking.and my ipod says that only 672MB of my 1000MB (1gb) are used so far!this thing is awesome

Another thing I don't like about this is that it only supports AAC, MP3, WAV, Audible formats

Is this a bad thing?

I'm sure it will look a little dorky at first, but I have a sneaky feeling that everyone will be wearing these things like jewelry very soon

The best things about the Shuffle are1

This thing is ultra-sturdy despite its flimsy appearance

I just love this little thing

This thing is awesome!!Her previous MP3 player was this heavy clumsy unUSERFRIENDLY DELL

It presents a nice alternative to a heavier and much more expensive Ipod -- good things as long as you accept its limitations.

Another bad thing, is the largest size it comes in 1 gig

Only thing needs to be improved is that the body should be scratch free

So the fact that the shuffle has no screen is a great thing for me

make great things!

But there are also some pretty cool things about it to, like it comes with a lanyard,the classic white earphones, a Cd to install the software,stickers and an information

The review below is very complete, but it neglects to include my personal favorite thing about my iPod shuffle.

Obviously, this is all of the good things that you already know: Portable, durable, affordable and really decent amount of storage for the price.

Also, it bothers me that none of the awesome extra things you can buy to go with Ipod are not compatible with shuffle, like the radio or the speakers

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

When I first saw the shuffle, I thought it was the dumbest thing ever.

This thing was great for me, as I had less than a gigabyte of music

One negative thing, of course, is there is no screen

However, good things come in small packages and the sound quality is just plain awesome

but this thing is just perfect for what it is

i even reinstalled windows on my computer so as to start from scratch and still this damn thing doesn't work

The great thing about the Shuffle is that its virtually weightless, and fits just about in any pocket, It it can hold 1GB worth of songs, without burning a hole in your pocket

One thing I have noticed in some of the reviews is the misunderstanding of the AAC format which is the prefered format to use on the shuffle (although MP3 and other formats will also play).

I'm so glad I purchased this thing because I totally love the shuffle aspect

and I'm wondering how long it will hold up in use (for me to use when I run).The on/off switch is somewhat difficult to move without feeling like I'm squeezing the thing to death.

The great thing about an Ipod is that you can essentially load your CDs onto it though Apple's Itunes software and then use your Ipod to access the CDs or lists of songs you create from these CDs on your computer.

The thing looks pretty cool too

I said you have to be patient, but when dealing with fine things, patience is a must.3

can either be a good or bad thing depending on your outlook on life:)

The 'genius" then offered a $10 discount on the purchase of a new shuffle - but couldn't answer the question of why anyone would want to waste money on such a poorly designed thing

The silly thing about an ipod is that it stores 10000 songs.

I bought this January 23, 2005 and this thing isn't that bad

Pros:-This thing is tiny, not much bigger than the USB thumb

I love this thing.

I love this thing for what it is and you can keep your bells and whistles and love what you have ... but leave this one alone

(both).The only thing I don't like from the Shuffle is the fact that it doesn't have a display to see which song is playing.

I absolutely love this thing.

but this thing is tough, sounds great, gets great battery life, and is rather affordable

The most amazing thing about the Shuffle, bar none, is its weight

Another thing I don't like is that it only comes with a 1 year warranty

Other than that, the thing looks nice and is featherweight and all.

Addendum: Here's a weird thing I've noticed with my shuffle

The only positive I see with using iTunes is that its interface is nice, and it runs fast.

I LOVE my i-POD!!!
