heh, im thinking about buying an ipod shuffle, the 512mb one is a good buy, and it looks just like any other 512mb one.

the shuffle is crap.

lasagna · 03-08-2005, 06:21 PM

seriously , this thing is a fucking rip off. the mini costs 200 and and can hold
8.3 times as more songs...for the price it should hold at least 500 songs..fuck apple.

i dont think its such a bad buy really ... im leaning towards a 512 mg one myself cause i dont really see myself listening 5/10/20/xx gigs of music ... one that has a interchangeable memory card would be perfect for me really.

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.

Bottom Line:

The iPod Shuffle is a fucking joke. Great you have a mini mp3 player where you cant control playback nor can you see whats actually playing or have access to numerous settins and controls - what a stud you are. Nevermind that there are OTHER 1gig 512mb mp3 players (for same price) that do indeed give you everything Apple has taken from you (raped really) and called "the next best thing". . .

"Oh look I dont know what song is gonna play next even though I know what songs I played. . .its like - THE RADIO!!! WOW A RADIO THAT I CAN CARRY AROUND WITH ME! What an innovative tool. . ." -

Seriously. . .sell the fucking thing and get a used Mini or 10g iPod. . .I dont need to know what song is playing either. . .but its nice to be able to have my decision on what to listen to be based on what ALBUM and not what SONG. . .

Shalom.

you people are fucknuts, you just don't like it because its a apple product that you don't like as an individual,just because you don't like it doesn't mean duffy has to like it,shuffle is a mode on it, you can still control the songs if you want and not everybody listens to like 2000 songs or has the budget for a Ipod or Ipod mini.

I have a phillips flash player and it sounds like the ipod shuffle has about the same amount of extras (Next to none), and the only reason I have it and not an ipod or an ipod equivalent is clear:

Ipod = $400

Phillips p.o.s = $100

Simple as that.

It plays music, it's small, and basic. That's all I give a shit about.
