controls.one bad thing would be that if the head phones break then it would be hard to use other headphones.i personally dont use this ipod for excersice (dont need to) but i dont think that it stops working with sweat.so that is all i personally have had this product for 1 day and i like it

I love this thing, its a great MP3 player

Wow, I hate this thing.

I hate this thing as you can't simply drag and drop or delete songs on the shuffle itself

If you are always on the move (exercising, cleaning, biking, etc.), then this is the best thing available

One bad thing is that you cannot see the playlist

I really enjoyed this thing and in most regards it's the perfect running

O WELL...for 50 bucks you need to overlook the little things and learn to appreciate what is already there

The only negative/positive thing i found would have to be the size

, so glad i didnt, this thing is perfect for gym use

Honestly, I love this thing!

I can't say enough good things about this device except that you have to use I-tunes - which is very frustrating for me...trying to keep it updated, synchronized..yuck

As others have complained, now you have to pay more money to buy an adapter cable just to use your own headphones, which is crazy because this thing is way overpriced to begin with.

Got this thing to take on long runs and I absolutely love it

Another impressive thing is that the shuffle can really crank out some volume to your headphones

And for something the size of about 4 Wheat Thins this thing sounds outstanding.

Bought the 3rd generation shuffle and it was the most frustrating thing ever

I've been extremely happy with this product, I really can't say enough good things

I hate this thing

ProsGreat little thing (small)strong clipeasy to use (hooray for buttons!)simple, multi-position switch on the top lets you play in order or shuffle

But Creative Zen discontinued the model and basically brought an end to a good thing

The only negative/positive thing i found would have to be the size

It's not like some critical thing the world was waiting for to have an ipod that read your playlists to you.4

The great thing about this shuffle is with a minimum of buttons, I can go forward, backward, change the volume, and find out what song I'm listening to, without ever touching the unit.

Apparently the fact that when I work out, I tend to break a heavy sweat has killed these things faster then the Ebola virus.

My Husband loves this lil thing.

I've enjoyed this little thing a ton.

", if you lose this thing you dont deserve one

This thing stinks

I hate this thing as you can't simply drag and drop or delete songs on the shuffle itself

that do exactly the same thing just as well.

Wow, I hate this thing.

This thing is amazing for it's size

i personally have always been fustrated with putting my hands in my pocket to change the song, its very crowded with the psp, nintendo ds, google g1, and my usb flashdrive, but now i can just change with a click of a butten.another great thing would be that the earphones are really loud

This little thing is AWESOME

If the remote gets wet, which it will if you workout, the thing starts acting crazy, and until it dries out, it will not work

Apparently the fact that when I work out, I tend to break a heavy sweat has killed these things faster then the Ebola virus.

This little thing is great

The thing worked fine until about 2 months after I bought it.

Carrying around the iphone in my hand or on a holder just worried me that if I fell or it slipped out, I would break the thing and the nano stays in my car and has the same dilemma

A lot smaller than I imagined and that is a good thing

The nice thing about a lot of these options is that it would not affect the intended simplicity of the device for music listeners who wouldn't care about these features.

I loved my shuffle 2g

I hated the 3g with the inline controls

True, you can create an excellent 2g playlist, but since I wrote this review I have been much more involved in converting my CD set and being able to carry the whole set around is just amazing...everything I said below is still true, but I sure wish this thing had 8gb instead of just 2 gb - even though Shuffling would get a whole

It's 2G (with a 4 G model available)
