IPOD Shuffle

[shan]

anyone got one of these? are they any use?

[frisky]

funny, i just posted about this on my blog:

the latest iPod shuffle is such a joke! $99 for what is basically a 512MB flash drive with a chip and a decoder. And you dont even get control over the playlist! I could write a fucking perl script that does what this thing does! I bet it costs Apple nothing more than $40 to make these things and they are selling them at an obscene profit. I'll stick with my iPod and iPod mini (yes, I have both) thank you.


stick with a normal ipod man. this is a piece of shit.

Best thing in the world. I have the one gig vers and I fucking love it. Small, light, compact, no LCD to scratch or skuff, and I put on sets, so I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I AM LISTENING TO.

I OWN ONE AND LOVE IT. I AM NOT BEING JUDGEMENTAL. I THINK IT BEATS THERE BIG BOY Ipods HANDS DOWN.

Affordable, sweet design, and very handy if you are person in transit, or just want to have something different and not follow the whole Ipod lame crowd.

What I do like about it tho - is that since its a USB flash drive, I can store other stuff like pictures etc and take it with me everywere without worrying about breaking it...

but that having been said, i can do the same with a $65 flash drive.

Yes you are correct. But it's fucking Apple and they really did a beautiful job on this POS. It lasted my (me) 16 hours on one charge. It's fucking amazing. Plus when I am in the studio I put this bad boy on. It sticks with me and by me in all my hustle//bustle. I can toss some data on this and it is always in my pocket as a pack of gum.


Love the bastard. I do not need 40 gigs of indulgence. 1 gig is fine.

soooo true. the OEM earphones suck ass anyway. I use my trusty pioneer HDJ 1000s on a long commute and sony in-ear phones on the tube etc where i cant lug around my heavy DJ phones.

i have the sony 700's headphone wise. i love them.

but i dont have an ipod

I use the white earbuds that came with the ipod and think they work just fine. This is just my 2 cents. :wink:

I've never had a problem with my white earbuds. Granted if I had $200 to plop down on a pair of those new-fangled doohickeys I would, but the ones I have definitely serve their purpose.

Well of course you know what sets you're listening to... you can only fit like 8 of 'em (more or less depending on bit-rate and if they're longer than an hour... you'd only fit like 4 192kbps Essential Mixes on even the expensive 1 Gig model...) And if you feel like listening to a particular set, you'll have to skip around at random 'till you hear the beginning which I hope you remember by heart. I don't know... I just think you have to be on-the-go quite a bit to warrant purchasing any mp3 player, let alone one that won't tell you what you're listening to, or keep any kind of order to a playlist you loaded on it.
