Have had one of these for years and love it because it does just what I want it to do and that is "play my music" no bells and whistles just a simple mp3 player. So when I saw this on Ebay I decided to get another one. Went to big store to buy MP3 player and OMGoodness so many buttons to use, or tiny little push things on the side and unless you are 20 years old and have 20-20 vision you need a magnifying glass to see what they do, then press the + button and hold for 10 seconds not to increase sound but just to make it play. So glad I got this simple one from Ebay love it. Just had to hook it up to PC ITunes go to Reset, check to make it is empty and import your own music. Soooo easy, and it 's Apple the sound is fantastic. Thank you Ebay and of course person making it available.

I bought this ipod because the previous one I had stopped charging. I absolutely love this model. But now I am unable to do anything with it because there is no software for me to use with it. I tried to Google how to download software with no luck. I know this is a very very very old ipod, but I still love it. My computer just won't do anything with it and it is very disappointing.

One of the first iPods I tried using when It was new (back in the white iPod days). It was a great device for it's simplicity, and the built in USB was a nice feature. However, I went with an Ipod Classic (video) at the time mainly because of large storage and a screen for play-lists. I just recently re-purchased a shuffle for my car, it's simple to just snap in some songs quickly from my work iTunes and pop it in my car for some quick jams. Here is the best part about the 1st gen shuffle, which is why I took it over the latest Shuffle was mainly the built in USB and the fact that a 10 dollar iPod getting stolen or misplaced is not going to hurt like losing my brand new 4th gen iPod Touch or my Classic would. The sound quality is also comparable to my iPod classic, as the new iPods have a more degrading sound quality since. The cons is mainly the very low capacity, but for my intentions it is great for some quick music and losing it would not really matter. My grading Pros -Great sound quality for an iPod, expecially with the dismal sound quality from the current iPod family. -Age does not really matter in this case, the battery can easily be replaced and the built in USB is a no-brainer for on the go nuts like myself. Cons -No Clip on like the newest shuffles -No Playlisting and voice over. -No screen. -If you don't like iTunes, the competition for a latest shuffle is overkill. Just look at Sandisk's players. If you want the latest new shuffle just for the design, do yourself a favor and get something with A LOT more features and night and day sound quality. Getting iPods is mainly for the established iTunes library.Read full review
The iPod shuffle is an amazing device, if you are comparing it to a portable DVD player or the original Sony Walkman that started the whole portable music revolution. The shuffle is slim, sexy and slips easily into a pocket or purse. These features, coupled with it being an Apple product that is selling for half the cost of the original iPod, has made it an impulse buy for many people. For those who take the time to do a detailed comparison with other digital music / MP3 players, the Shuffle starts to look a little anemic and less of a value. The Pros (Positives) + It Sounds Great! The original iPod as well as the iPod Mini have gotten bad marks for low-end (base) output. The shuffle makes even the lower-end earbuds it comes with sound super. Higher end earphones sound fabulous! + The four-way rocker plus pause/play switch on the front is convenient and simple to operate. The same can be said for the two position power switch and battery-check button on the rear. + The Shuffles .08 Ounce weight and lipstick-on-steroids size make it extremely easy to take with you. + Because the iPod Shuffle IS an Apple, technical and 3rd-party product support is strong. Cons (Negatives) - No Display! No Display! No Display! Can you tell I think this is extremely important? Without a display and no way to select individual songs or play lists or even tell the status of your battery at a glance, the Shuffle is crippled in comparison to even some of the $39.95 memory-stick players on the market. - Low Comparable Value. There are a large number of similarly-sized players available, with additional features like A Display, FM Radio, WMA and open MP3 support, for as little as $49.95. To view a list of eBay auctions for 512M players that fit this description, use the following path and search criteria: Buy Consumer Electronics MP3 Players & Accessories Search for 'mp3 player 512' - Proprietary Software / Format(s). The Shuffle comes with a customized version if iTunes that locks you into the iTunes site for music downloads. Although iTunes has a lot to offer, I would rather have an MP3 player that was WMA (Windows Media Audio) compliant. The WMA standard is supported by many Online Music Vendors, as well as an increasing number of audio blog sources. If you’re a Mac user don't think you need a Mac MP3 player! Many other MP3 players support BOTH Macs and PCs. - Limited Color Choices. 'OK,' I admit it's not that big a deal. Still, with other vendors I can choose to give my girl/girlfriend/wife her favorite hot pink color MP3 player, give other people yellow, green, blue, etc. and get myself the sleek black color I prefer. The iPod Shuffle demonstrates that affordable and useful personal electronics can come in a small and attractive package. For me, the Apple name is not enough to justify spending more for fewer features!Read full review
I got an iPod Shuffle as a present and have totally loved it. There are few companies that can provide unique product design combined with ease of use and functionality. Sound quality on the Shuffle is great, and comes with a comfortable set of headphones which provide decent sound quality. The Shuffle is very durable, extremely light, and there are a huge array of accessories from holders to arm band thingies. So what's not to like? Well... despite as cool as it looks, functionality wise it's pretty limited. I recently bought my wife a Sandisc player because it had some features the Shuffle doesn't. Namely: - Display - Microphone/Record - More capacity - Replaceable Battery When your Shuffle's battery eventually dies you have to mail it to Apple to have it fixed, which is inconvenient. The other thing about iPod's in general is that the iPod format isn't the most optimal for space; other devices that are Windows Media based can hold more songs. But all in all, not bad. The Shuffle is more than just a player, but is also a fashion piece.Read full review
