    Although there are many MP3 players out there with way more features (made by both Apple and others), this one does the job and is incredible light. Has everything I need. Syncs easily with iTunes on MacBook - this is my first of this generation and I like the ability to switch between playlists. Only limitation I've noticed so far is that one time it couldn't read the playlist names (during my run) and simply said, "Playlist 1, Playlist 2, etc." Otherwise, great device.

    I bought the iPod Shuffle for when I'm walking. It allows me to leave my more expensive, easier to break iPod at home. I was having an issue finding a way to carry my iPod considering I usually don't have pockets and my bra just isn't a good idea!! Once I decided on the shuffle life became much easier. I can clip it anywhere .... my waistband, my bra strap, even on my bracelet once ;) The functions are simple enough; volume up and down, play/pause, skip forward and reverse. It also has the ability to tell you the name/artist of the current song you are listening to. The battery life is spectacular compared to other mp3s that I have owned. I like it so much that I have since purchased 2 more for family members. Another plus is that it frees up space on my iPod touch

    my ipod shuffle is so easy and small enough to carry around. just down load your music. It's so great for working in yard or taking a walk. It also is great for the car when you get out of radio range.!!

    I bought this for my 12 year old daughter who kept asking to take her phone or iPod to places I was afraid she would loose them. The shuffle is inexpensive and because it just holds her music I am not as worried she will loose it or get it stolen. She figured it out quickly.

    I bought this as I wanted to have something small and simple to play my musics when I am traveling. This product is just that and does not compromise on sound quality. I only wish that Apple would find some way to make it a Blue Tooth enabled product.

    I did not want to spend a lot of money because I have an IPhone but I wanted something that was compact and I could get great sound no matter the size. I have tried the arm band with my IPhone but I do not like to lift weights with something on my arm. I feel I cannot get the workout I want when it is arm day. The shuffle is so easy just clip it on my clothes and go. In my car I just plug it in put it in my compartment between the fronts seats and go.

    Love this as it is very portable. Can take anywhere and store anywhere. Easy to download music too. Only thing I don't like is the little clip is hard to use even for my small hands. Just make sure it's off when you attach to shirt, jacket etc. Love having music no matter where I go and it recharges quickly and have not yet ran out of battery on my walks and runs.

    I just wanted an MP3 player that would be easy to use and play for a long time without loosing battery life. This shuffle is it.... so easy to use and it clips securely to my coat pocket. I just love it!

    This is my second ipod shuffle. I bought the first one in 2007 (the 1Gb version) it still works fine but I bought the second one because of its increased capacity and because I fear Apple will stop making this version soon. I can't live without it! I find all other ipods or mp3 players to be much to big to use while running. This one is simple, just clip it on press play and go. I use it nearly every day and only have to charge it once every couple of weeks. It is perfect for exercise.

    The Shuffle has a really known brand (Apple products) that I trust a lot. The colors and design of the shuffles are pretty attractive, they are easy to use (I am giving one of them to my mom), really intuitive. It is light and small (easy to carry around), but be careful to not scratch or create stains in the white parts. Also, mine was okay, but the headphones of 3 of my friends came with problem (even though it was easy go and ask to change it it is not a good thing about it).

    I purchased the iPod shuffle so that I can listen to music while I work out and not have to lug my phone or big iPod around. The clip works nice...I just hook on my iPod and off I go. The size allows for a good amount of songs and the color is cool!

    Use this bad boy for working out and it's great. Small enough to stay out of the way. I'm not distracted by calls, and fits almost 200 songs. Great way to narrow down work out music!

    The Shuffle is easy to use, even if you're not tech-savy. I am a runner and I especially like it because it's so compact and clips easily to clothes. The only thing I would change would be a display of some sort so you can see what song is playing.

    Although I'm not much of an avid runner these days, I would say that the iPod shuffle is GREAT. When I would run before, I would have to lug around my phone or my iPod Touch, worrying in the back of my head that I would drop it or constantly checking if someone texted or emailed. The Shuffle is very lightweight and can clip wherever. I was a little intimidated by the instructions and having to remember what buttons did what, especially with navigating through multiple playlists. This wasn't so bad once I started using it more. Only thing that would make it better would be Bluetooth capabilities so I wouldn't have to deal with a long cord. Not a deal breaker though. Very much pleased with this item.

    I hate carrying my phone when I work out, I tend to get distracted whenever I have an incoming message or alert. This is light weight and has a nice clip on the back to attach to your shorts or shirt. Perfect for my workouts.

    I love the ease of use of this little unit. I was going to by the Nano for the Nike fit app and pedometer function but my husband convinced me that if I go that route I should just get the Ipod Touch. So after some discussion I decided to go with the shuffle. Later down the road my husband will upgrade his 32GB Touch to a 64 and give me his 32. What's great is that I don't have to look at a touch screen to change songs, play or stop. I can do it all by feel which is actually less distracting than if I had to look at a screen. If I need a pedometer or activity tracker I'll buy a separate device. I don't need tons of storage so this seems fine. I can pull songs from my my husbands iTunes and create my playlists of favorites. I did have to take my unit back and get a replacement because it seemed like the unit was not charging properly or holding the charge so I'm hoping the replacement unit does a better job on charging. The Best Buy employees advised that I should buy other earbuds and they were right. The sound quality might be fine if they were comfortable to wear but they aren't. I bought the pink color. I read reviews that said it was salmon and not pink and that's why I bought the pink... I love the salmon color. I would have bought red but I'd have to buy that color through the istore.

    my old ipd shuffle went kaput on me. Went to buy another one. Not making that model anymore. I was happily surprised to find the new model even smaller. Very easy to use. Only cannot shuffle anytime I want.
