Advantages: looks, sound quality, price

Disadvantages: shuffling problems

I never got around around to buying an mp3 player but when the I pod shuffle came around i just had to have It.
I always found the price of MP3 players to be too expensive but the price of the shuffle was ideal, £79.99 for the 1GB version (opproximately 240 songs), which i though was ideal as who really like more than 240 songs? i find the larger normal ipod with a 6GB capacity pointless. Does anyone really enjoys thousands of songs? i dont think so!.
The main reason i bought the i pod was the price and also the very very sexy looks!, it is approximately the size of a lighter and slips into any pocket easily and looks dam cool!
The sound quality is out of this world, better than all other types of i pod (ive listend to my friends nano, normal size ect) and it is perfection, crisp ,clear, fantastic.
Now to the bad points (dont worry there arnt many):

(This isnt really a problem) It does not have a screen so you do not know what song is playing this is not a problem for me as i dont care as i know what all the songs are on it.

Dodgy headphones on very high volume (i like it loud!) bit of crackling occurs but not all the time.

Very dodgy random selection, this is the ipods main problem, even though it is called a shuffle it aint shuffling too good! a prime example was i was listening to a random song, then a 1st song on an album came up , then the 2nd,the 3rd and then it changes, now the odds of this happeing out of 240 songs is like 700 to 1 (i think :s) but this happes everytime i use it (at least 5 times a week)

Overall this is a quality piece of audio equipment with fantastic sound, good looks and a dam good price!

Summary: This is an exellent piece of audio equipment
