Anyone have an iPod shuffle?

[Shredr]

It seems so primative to me. No window, you can't choose which songs you listen to. It's like a radio you pre-program or something. Any thoughts? Anyone actually have one?

1. I don't have one, but this is all I know about it.

It's flash memory, unlike the actual hard-drive architectures of the other iPods. And all of the music is random (hence the name "shuffle").

2. I realized most of what I listen to is shit.

I use mine for short bike rides to the store. And running. The Mini goes with me everywhere else.

4. And you don't mind

the randomness of the whole thing? Not being able to choose what song comes next?

6. There is the ability to choose between random/ordered

3. I have a Palm that plays mp3s

and does a hundred other things.

Now that 1-GB cards are available for $150 CDN, I might just get me one of those and skip the Shuffle hype.

5. My husband has one-no it doesn't have a window

you arrow through it and listen for a moment or 2 to hear what song it is.

7. Sounds like Apple is simply trying to coopt the word shuffle

A feature every MP3 device has to my knowledge.
