4 Stars iPod Shuffle 1GB (2nd Gen) – The iPod for non-iPod users
The Shuffle might be the poor man’s music player these days, but it does a fine job of what it sets out to do. Once you have iTunes (free downloadable Apple software) on your computer, putting music on your iPod is as simple as dragging and dropping files into the iPod’s playlist. The device sports 1 gigabyte of storage, which is still enough for hours of music. When you want to listen to some music, you just pop in the earbuds, turn on the power, and hit play. The Shuffle is durable and small enough to put in a pocket, and the controls are so simple you will probably not even have to look at the iPod to use them.
The main downside is the inability to navigate through your music files to select a specific artist or song. The player can either go through your playlist top to bottom or “shuffle” it and play songs randomly. You can skip or go back through the list, but that’s it. So the Shuffle works great when you just want to have a soundtrack playing in the background, not so great when you want a friend to hear this new song you just downloaded on to it.
Overall, it’s a very solid and functional package for the price, and like most of Apple’s products, it looks somewhat cool and stylish.
5 Stars Bulk-less music on the go.
This iPod Shuffle is my second iPod so there were no surprises in the box.
With my massive 160GB iPod Classic I bring all my music with me everywhere I go. I listen to it all day everyday at work. Yesterday I was grooving to Reggae while snowblowing the driveway. Sometimes the iPod Classic is too big and kind of in the way. The iPod Shuffle is the perfect answer to this “little” problem. Though limited by the 1GB size, I can fill it and empty and refill it at will. I find the small size ideal for the Gym. Low profile and light weight design makes it ideal to clip to my tshirt for lifting or cardio. Never in the way but always present – this thing rocks (and reggae’s too).
I picked the green color and was happy to find the color depicted on Amazon.com to be right on the money. Speaking of money, I found this Shuffle cheaper here online than advertised at my local bigbox exectronics stores. For those of you who seek instant gratification; My Shuffle showed up at my house so quickly, it’s hardly worth the trip to the mall. 2 days.
4 Stars Happy to shuffle
I had an older iPod for years and have a library of 100′S songs. It’s fun to be able to pick out my current favs and put just those on the shuffle. My shuffle reflects my “music mood” now and I just change the shuffles library to reflect what type of workout I want to do.
5 Stars Perfect for those who like it simple
All I wanted was an iPod that I could listen to while taking a walk or riding the subway to and from work. I didn’t need a screen that would list the songs I downloaded. I didn’t need video; I’ve never needed images to enjoy music. I certainly didn’t need more than this Shuffle’s capacity. And I wasn’t looking to impress anyone by pulling something super-expensive and eye-catching out of my pocket. So…the tiny iPod Shuffle is perfect for me. It easy to use, has good sound, and the controls are so easy and manageable that I don’t have to pull it out of my pocket to use them. Of course, not everyone is going to feel that no-frills is the way to go. But if you do like it simple, prefer Apple products, and either don’t want to or can’t spend a lot of money, I believe you’ll be happy with the Shuffle.
5 Stars Best Gift Ever
