Ipod shuffle

Advantages: Small, good sound quality, value for money, reliable, looks good
Disadvantages: easily scratched if left in pocket of keys

...I brought a blue ipod shuffle a little while back and i love it! The shuffle is good for those people who do not need a screen on their mp3 player. By not having a screen you are not constantly looking for a favourite song, the player will choose one for you and if you don't like it you are able to skip to the next one in line. 1GB capacity allows up to 240 songs to be stored and carried around with you where ever you go. Being just over 4cm long and 2.5cm thick it is small enough to put into your pocket without having to worry about it getting in the way. It can also be worn like a badge so that everyone can see your devotion to music. The controls are easy to use and self explanatory. To turn the shuffle on and off all that is needed is the little push of a switch on the top of the player. This means there is no holding down of various...

Ipod Shuffle

Advantages: light weight, practicle
Disadvantages: no video

...I recently received an Ipod shuffle as a gift. I am very happy with the product. It is easy to use and comes with a nice little stand charger. Also it's not bulky, so you can actually take it places without feeling hindered by the mass. What's unique about this model is that it has both a shuffle and a continuous stream button. This means that if you record lectures on it, they won't be automatically shuffled, you can always scan for the subject you are looking for and stream continuously. On a full charge the shuffle lasts over 10 hours. I personally love that i can hold it in the palm of my hands and have an assured source of entertainment on a plain or during commuting times. I strongly suggest it and I believe it is a very good value for the money. Additionally I don't seem to scene any programmed breakdown in the shuffle like...

Ipod shuffle.

Advantages: The clip feature and sound quality.
Disadvantages: Not many features

...I love my ipod shuffle. I do have an ipod nano as well, but I find that i'm using the shuffle more and more over the nano. Firstly I find that the size and design of the shuffle (clip feature) is far more useful than the nano, it means you don't have to worry about having a pocket to put it in and is particularly useful for situations like the gym. You also don't have to worry about the screen getting scratched as obviously there isn't one! The battery life is great lasting a good 10 hours before it needs recharging. I paid £22 for mine off bigpockets when they were selling all the old models off cheaper which is no doubt an absolute bargain. I also feel that the sound quality is as good as all the other Ipod types. The choice of colours is also good so you can pick one to suit your style. The thing with the shuffle is you obviously...

ipod shuffle

Advantages: small hold lots of songs
Disadvantages: low battery life can't see song names

...i really dont like this mp3 player. yes it holds alot of songs and its small but you can't see what song your playing you have to skip through them untill you find it. the earphones that apple supply with the shuffle break easily i had mine for about 4 months before they stopped working and that was due to normal use. the battery life isn't that good either if your just letting it play through without skipping then it isn't bad but the more you skip or pause the quicker your battery runs out and that is the downfall of no batteries as you have to wait untill you are at a computer before you can charge it. itunes also automatically updates your ipod so if there is a song that has been deleted from itunes but you want it on your ipod its tough it gets deleted anyway....

Ipod Shuffle

Advantages: Small and portable.
Disadvantages: Easy to lose if not careful

...This is a great little mp3 player for those people that are always on the go or those of you that just don't have room in your pocket for one of the bigger ipods. Its 1GB memory capacity may seem small in comparison to the bigger 20GB n 40GB but its better for those of you that like to limit yourself to a smaller selection of songs instead of being lost in all those songs you never listen to. One feature i think that this ipod shuffle is missing is a repeat button. Sometimes i just have one song I wish I could listen to over and over but to do that I need to hit back everytime the song finishes. Also the fact that the ipod uses the jack to charge instead of something similar to other ipods limit what you can buy for it to go along with it. Some of the features can be tricky to master at first but in time its all very simple...

ipod shuffle

Advantages: small compact design
Disadvantages: no screen

...I was given this ipod as a present and I was very happy since my old mp3 was very unreliable and stopped working completely. However, if I had been given the choice I would not have chosen this particular one. Although it is very good value for money, the design lets it down. I like to fill my ipod with random music from downloads or friends. I can walk along the street happily listening to new songs but unfortunately I can not find out who I am listening too! Yes, I can come home and plug it into the computer and click on every single track to find out but the whole point of the ipod is for music on the go (having to plug the ipod into the computer to charge it everyday because it only lasts a few hours is also very irritating) Very clever to make extra money from everyone running out to by plug in chargers. I think overall it...

Ipod Shuffle!

Advantages: small with a cool little clip
Disadvantages: screenless - but do you need all those extras features?

...the power button which clearly turns the ipod on or off - and you can also put it on hold so that you don't accidentally change songs while you are walking along and knock into something. Charging/power: The ipod shuffle comes with a small docking station for easy charge. You simply slot the ipod into the docking station - a small white thing - standing up and plug the USB end into your computer and then it will simply charge up. This can be done when you are loading songs onto it from your computer for example. It doesn't take very long to charge and when the battery is full it will last for about 12 hours. There is also a little light on top of the ipod which will inform you of the charge level. When it is green then it has a lot of battery life, amber means you are running low, and read means stop - you have practically no battery life...

Ipod shuffle - small and light

Advantages: Very small, lightweight, holds quite a lot of music
Disadvantages: No screen

...I've only started to use my Ipod shuffle in the last few weeks, despite having it since Xmas 2007, as it took me ages to get round to installing Itunes. It's a 2nd generation silver 1GB shuffle, and I've been so impressed that I've just ordered a nano. The selling point is how amazingly light it is - 16g. I think the headphones probably double the weight! Although it comes packaged with the standard white Apple headphones, I've tended not to use them as they stand out so much. Once it's installed, it's fairly easy setting up the Ipod with Itunes. I've used it purely to listen to music I already owned on CD, so can't comment on the download function, but transferring music to the Ipod is pretty quick and painless. Using it is intuitive - there's only a couple of functions - play, pause, back and forward, plus the volume. You have...

ipod shuffle

Advantages: small, light, cute, easy to use
Disadvantages: pointy edges

...I love my ipod shuffle it is cute, small and it packs a punch and a half. This is amazing value i mean you can't go wrong paying at most £50. I mean any one who wants something easy to use, small, that plays your music as loud as ur ears can take then this is the musical device for you. I mean my grandmother can use it its that easy even tho she had a moan about how music in her day was something worth listening to but other then that she liked it in her words ooohhh thats cute what is is? after the explanation she found it quite handy. I use mine in the gym on the bus all over really. It's handy and easy to charge as all you do is plug it into your usb port on your computer using the wire of couse leave it to charge till the lillte light has turned green which only takes about 30mins at most unplug and your all charged...
