Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Good Find Comment: I had seen this advertised maybe lst year and thought 'could be good', however I had got a Creative zen that xmas and was quite happy. Having lost the Zen due to a druken outing and forgot about the shuffle, I went through various £20 1gb mp3 players over 9 months. When I got this last week I couldn't really belive the size (it's tiny) but robust. The fact it clips on anywhere is great for the gym because I feel the armband holsters look a bit odd as I don't like flapping wire when I work out. The volume is very good and the headphones don't fall out of my ear ( yes I do move when I work out!). 1gb is enough for a workout, even if you spread time out over 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The battery life seems to be doing what it says on the tin. I sat on the national express to Bristol and back (6hours) and then down to Brighton (1 1/2 hours) and havent charged it back yet. All in all I wanted was a player I could take to the gym to play enough tunes and not have it get in the way of any weights or cardio which it does...hence 5 stars Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic and unbeatable value for money Comment: Why some people choose to dismiss this player or moan about it's lack of features is beyond me! It's simply brilliant! I use mine purely for the gym, so where else could you expect to get 250 tunes on an mp3 player which is lightweight can clip on your pocket and not even know it's there and not have to worry about breaking it? I used to take my 30gig ipod with me to the gym and after it falling off the equipment so many times and bearing in mind it usually fell onto something made of cast metal, not ideal really when you have a screen to break! So the fact that it doesn't have a screen is a bonus for me cos it's less to worry about and why are you ever likely to want more than 100 let alone 250 tunes on it when you can simply change them anytime you like on itunes. I just load them on press play finish my session at the gym turn it off and next time I turn it on it starts where I left off and you can choose the order you want them to play in itunes or press the shuffle feature if you fancy a random playlist for a change. As for those who question the sound quality, well I load less tunes on mine but at 320kbps which is cd quality and mine sounds superb, so if you are going to put tunes on it which are 128kbps or less you can only expect some deteriation in sound quality! Yes the headphones aren't exactly B&O but I don't really need to listen to 5.1 surround sound when i'm at the gym so for me they are more than adequate. I ask you where else can you get all those ingenious features for £32? Fantastic bit of kit for the right application! Customer Rating: Summary: I love my ipod shuffle Comment: Yes it would be nice to have a screen and easy manual selection of songs like with the bigger ipods but thats the whole point to the ipod shuffle- its tiny! I absolutely love the fact that i can stick it on at the gym and clip it to my top or trackies or hang it on a handy neck rope. It weighs nothing and is perfect for those of us that prefer simplicity and a good price to all the latest gadgets and gizmos. I needed an mp3 player that'd play MUSIC- I dont care about music videos- what good would that be in the gym? I can do things like photos and videos on my phone. This has got to be the best thing I've bought this year. And the new range of colours? Much classier than the original practically neon range. Customer Rating: Summary: Hmm... the new colours?! Comment: If you are a runner, then this HAS to be on your shorts somewhere. Steve Jobs has freed up the lone-runner experience over the past few years. Only 4 or 5 years ago my right hand had a Sony Waterproof Cassette Walkman velcro'ed to it (if the Walkman was clipped to your waist it jumped and warbled too much) which also meant to carry a water bottle tied up both your hands. The first generation iPod Shuffle was a revalation, not only could you carry more music than you needed even for a marathon but it fitted into the key pocket on most running shorts. (but your house key was relegated to being tied on to your laces) Now with the new version, you can clip it to your shorts and feel no bulk or weight atall whilst running along to all your best running and motivational tunes. And your keys can go back into the thoughtfully placed pocket on your shorts. The included headphones, like for all iPods are pretty awful and do not stay in your ears when running but other than that the new Shuffle has to be the best workout kit (and bargain) of the year. The latest range of Shuffle colours are not as vibrant as the first range, if you lookout for them the original colours are still available. Customer Rating: Summary: excellent machine provided all you want is music Comment: At the time of writing this review there are 68 others already on here, but I thought I would tell you of my own experience with the ipod shuffle. I go the gym and used to have a MP3 player - just a basic "memory stick" type that I plugged into my computer to recharge and I could drag & drop songs onto. Unfortunately it died so it was time to look for a new one. Now I was undecided whether to buy a basic model by a less well known company, or go for a leading name. It seems to me that if you're prepared to go for a relatively unknown manufacturer you can get a basic mp3 player for half the price with twice the memory, but eventually after much deliberation I plumped for the apple ipod shuffle, swayed by a combination of the reputation of apple & (hopefully) a better build quality. I have had it just over a week now and I think I have made the right decision. Yes, there is no screen, but I knew that when I bought it. I know from my prior experience at the gym that I just tend to switch it on and let it play so I didn't really need one. Also, I have a mobile phone that takes pictures, plays videos, games etc and I hardly use any of those features so I figured I wouldn't need a screen to watch tiny videos on. The earphones are great - several reviwers say they fall out but I've used mine on the treadmill, rower, cross trainer, exercise bike and wave machine and they've stayed in throughout! I've got about 14 hours out of it before I had to recharge which is impressive, and although initially I missed the simplicity of the "drag & drop" method of my old mp3 player, its just a question of getting used to itunes and once you have it seems simple enough. All in all, an excellent purchase and having never had any previous experience of apple or ipods I am very pleased with my purchase. More Reviews
