I have to start out by saying that I really do like the size and convenience of the shuffle. For working out, riding a bike, etc, it does a great job. I really don't like not having a screen to see what I'm listening to or what is on the player, but that was expected with the Shuffle and is a compromise you have to make to get this size. The one big dislike I have of this player is the interface with the computer (iTunes) and the charging capability (or lack of). If you have your shuffle charging on your computer and you are in a hurry you can't just pull it off the charging stand / interface. This could leave you with nothing on your shuffle at all. Also, if you aren't careful with your settings, you could end up replacing all of your music every time you plug it in to charge it. How hard would it have been to provide a charging interface that didn't immediately have to go to iTunes and risk deleting your music each time? I have had the shuffle for a few weeks now and have had multiple times where I have brought it in to work only to find that the music I wanted isn't there (sometimes no music at all). If it wasn't for this big concern I would really like this player for the purpose it is designed for: holding a few songs and randomly shuffling through them. However, this interface concern has me really wishing I had a different player.Read full review
I have 2 of these, 1 for the gym and 1 to clip on my motorcycle helmet. Battery life was good but its becoming worse with age, which is to be expected. Design is great, can easily be operated while wearing gloves while clipped on helmet or while jogging. Very lightweight, don't notice it at all on a helmet or clipped on my pants while at the gym. Its pretty simple so no features other than volume up/down, next/previous track, and shuffle. Overall great cheap music solution.
Because I got the same thing for my Bday a year ago, and I like this product a lot because it is small, light, it has a clip so it is easy to carry wherever you go, even if you go running. It has quite a good capacity (2GB) and I like when songs are shuffling, so I don't get bored with them. I also find the battery quite powerful since it can run like 8hours as I experienced. A little thing that disturbs me that the "shuffle" function pics the same sets of songs every time, and that after recharging the battery, it starts playing from the very beginning. Other than that I like the different colors, I have a purple one that is very pretty, and this silver is ok too.
I am not sure about battery life as these units are getting old and battery is original. This is my 3rd one, found it is cheaper to buy from e-bay than to replace battery. Am still monitoring this unit to see how long charge will last. This iPod shuffle is pretty much indestructible and should last a long time with any amount of care.

This shuffle comes in 1 or 2 gig varieties & is my Ipod of choice for the gym. It's no bigger than a matchbook, weighs less than an ounce, & has a very secure spring clip. It's simple, clean & of adequate capacity(1gig) for any of my itunes playlists. It has the controls built into the unit face. Later generations have the controls on the headphone cord, which will prevent you from using other brands & styles of headphones. Play functions are either in playlist order, or shuffled randomly. There's no EQ function, but it delivers adequate frequency response for most listeners. I average 8-10 hours of listening time one a single charge, at moderate-to-loud volume levels. For most activities, the clip is sufficient, but for rigorous activities, some sort of arm or wristband case may be needed(or stick it in your pocket). If you need low maintenance tunes, this is a superior choice. Additionally, I've seen some other reviews about the itunes interface & have to disagree. It's rather simple. If itunes is set to autosync, the shuffle will autofill with a playlist. Just click on the shuffle from the itunes sidebar on the left. Choose the playlist you want from the drop down menu at the bottom of the screen. You can also adjust settings for the shuffle syncing. Click the settings button at the bottom right(the default setting is to erase the shuffle contents when syncing). If you just want to charge when you plug it in, make sure autosync for itunes is turned off. If autosync is on, you must eject the ipod from itunes(but not from windows) & let it sit to charge.Read full review
