Cons: No choice of color, white gets dirty when you use it to workout

Intro For those of us who need to work out and pretty much hate to, music is the one thing that can keep us going. I simply can't work out without music, and I was getting sick of carrying around a portable CD player and trying to find ways to ...

Pros: Ease of use, well laid-out controls, easy to use in the pocket
Cons: iTunes, sound quality is mediocre in comparison to other players.

It's no secret that I dislike Apple's overpriced iPod series. The bulk of their catalog isn't worth the money, especially when you can get a better sounding player for less. iPod is number one for its sexiness and advertising; many people just do ...

Pros: Inexpensive; easy to use; easy to keep clean; small and very light weight
Cons: Not expandable; no display screen; can't toggle between playlists; few accessories

I'll be the first to say that I wasn't a big believer in the Shuffle when it was introduced. The lack of an LCD screen to tell a user what song they're listening to was a deal killer for me, and so I bought the rival 512MB Creative MuVo TX FM instead. ...

Pros: simplicity, battery life, weight, price, and ease of use
Cons: not made in black, software, expensive accessories, and scratch prone case

Pros: no moving parts!
Cons: nothing if used as workout mp3 player and not every day primary usage.

I started out by telling people how dumb an idea I thought (initially) the shuffle was. I was not into the idea of a lack of display, and so little memory but now... I have been using a 4GB mini for about a year now, which eventually I decided was ...

Pros: Sound quality .. awesome. Nuf said. Simple controls. Excellent battery life in a tiny player.
Cons: USB connectivity issues including problems connecting to Apple's very own eMac. NO GAPLESS PLAYBACK.

I've had my iPod Shuffle for about a week now. I'm pleased, especially since I received it free with my credit card account (you've seen the ads). The Good Extremely easy to use and load with tons of music. This tiny itsey-bitsey little ...

Pros: Light, easy to operate, good quality sound, versatile storage option for data
Cons: Small enough for me to lose, on/off slide switch disappoints

As an ardent Mac fan - computers that is - I watched the January Keynote Address by Steve Jobs as soon as I could get to download the two hour quicktime presentation. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get to the really new stuff and the iPod Shuffle was one ...

Pros: Incredible design and workmanship (tyical Apple).
Cons: The "cons" are deliberately marketed for simplicity.

I understand that it is very popular to bash anything that Apple markets. It's a phenomenon not unlike Bose-bashing in the audio world. That being said, allow to say that, no, the Shuffle was not my first choice. It was a Christmas gift from my ...

Pros: stylish, elegant, simple, seamless iTunes integration
Cons: lack of an adjustable equalizer

I bought this refurbished first generation Shuffle 512mb flash memory mp3 player off of ebay for $30 (including shipping). I really did not need it, as I already own a Dell DJ Ditty 512mb player, but I always wanted an ipod and do not care for the style ...

Pros: Very small (~1 in3) iTMS/AAC support, simplicity of use, build quality, good included earbuds
Cons: Not many I can think of

I bought the iPod shuffle (iPs) because it was just what I needed: it's small, light, has the right capacity for me, and it supports iTunes Music Store (iTMS) *.M4P encrypted AAC files as well as *.M4A unencrypted AAC files. The packaging of the iPs ...

Pros: Size, durability, price
Cons: No Screen, capacity

In the portable music player market, few can compete with the legendary iPod. Since its debut in 2002, the ipod has enticed more than 4 million buyers with its size, capacity, simplicity, and style. When Apple introduced the iPod shuffle in January, I ...

Pros: Not much money, very portable, simple and dependable.
Cons: Limited song control, delicate setting between random and specific order

I recently bought an iPod Shuffle even though I already had a 60 gb iPod. My 60gb is used primarily at home in my speaker stand and I was tired of unplugging it to take to my workouts. The Shuffle was $99 and I also purchased the clip to attach to my ...

Pros: Small, durable, simple to use, low price
Cons: the 1 gig version, supplied earphones aren't good

Cons: Button on back could be textured .

I already have a 15 GB iPod I love, but found myself sometimes relunctantly leaving it at home if I thought it was going to rain or if I just didn't feel like babying it.......what's interesting is I was already utilizing the "On The Go" playlist ...
