I keep my opinion mean and clean. And mini's are for pansies.
-It was a birthday gift, so I dont care what the price is either way. No screen doesnt bother me at all, because unlike you guys, I listen to my music, and have ears, and dont really need a screen to tell me who the band is, because god, I already know. I wasnt showing off that I had 107 songs, as the 512 only holds 120, just saying I have used up most of it. I only have my favorite songs, not all the craptastic ones you guys put on yours just simply for the song count, which to a lot of you seems like its more important the music itself.Geeks.

When I used a CD-player, I didnt even look at the screen anyways, kept it in my coat pocket, and when there was a song I didnt like, I felt around the for the next key, and hit it. Same for Shuffle, its nice, the controls are simplest things in the world. I have to agree though, the Shuffle thing is the worst marketing ever. I've got Shuffle in my 6 year old CD-player. Still, its there, not that I use it, only to skip amongst records (it shuffles in one record, then goes onto the next..shuffle, then next record, shuffle, then next record..so I usually shuffle it 'till I find my record, takes around 30 seconds, then turn it off, and use it like I did with a CD-player)

I still like the thing, Im in love with it, I keep it in my pocket with nothing else in it. I hate the ear-buds, though, get stupid looks.

I guess I'll just stop, now Im just kinda rambling.
