Advantages: great for all

Disadvantages: not screen or choice of playlist

The Ipod shuffle was brought for me as a Christmas present a few years ago and i was not dissappointed with with it. Being new to the world of new technology i did not want to branch out on a top of the range ipod till i knew what i was dealing with and if i was able to download the music wth out any problem.

Apple have made the technology of downloading music with the help of itunes a piece of cake, i do not know what i was worrying about it was so simple.

The ipod shuffle is also an easy MP3 player to use this style comes in a 512mb or a 1gb. The 512mb holds up to 120 songs it weighs 22 grams you can enjoy up to 12 hours of continous play, it is charged bu either a usb port on your computer or you can but a charger so you do not need to be near a computer to get the best out of your ipod.

There are various accessories that you can buy for you ipod, but to name a few there are speakers, covers and connectors to link you ipod to you main stereo.

They have now released a new ipod shuffle which is a lot more compact than the one im reviewing now and it comes in a selection of colours.

The only disadvantage that i have for this ipod is that you cannot see which song you are playing or be able to select a playlist as this in a limited ipod, but what do you expect for the price tag. This ipod only allows you to shuffle the sonngs or to play then in the order that they appear on your itunes.

But for you first ipod i would definately recommed this ipod, i will however be updating to a bigger ipod as i have used this a lot more than i expected to.

Summary: a nice compact ipod
