Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Silver (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: I am going to miss this gadget!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's tiny, it has impressive battery life, it's a clip, it does what it claims. It's also survived quite a few accidental drops.
My only complaint is the planned obsolescence. Eventually the battery won't charge anymore - and there is no way to replace the battery so you'll just have to get a new player. Of course not having a screen is annoying, but that's an ok trade off for an unbreakable tiny thing that clips anywhere.
I just re-ordered this instead of getting the new shuffle because the new ones have the controls on the headphones. Not ok, because I lose and break headphones frequently and I am not going to keep buying special pricier headphones.
Customer Review: This player is worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
I have purchased three of these 2nd generation shuffles. All three have had the same, exact problem, and none of them work, even though I've only owned them a month. I bought them for myself and my two kids. They worked at first, but upon charging, updating software, and adding songs, they inevitably had some sort of software problem and quit working. I searched Apple's support area, and although I've now spent countless hours trying to fix my particular problem, I have been unable to even find the problem listed on Apple's website, and I am unable to actually speak to a human being about the issue. I will NEVER buy an Apple product again. They have lost me forever.Customer Review: Works Better Than The 1st Generation Shuffles.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was dragging my feet purchasing this product because I was so used to the 1st Generation shuffle that has built in usb. However, the reason I switched was the 1st generation shuffle continually got corrupted, despite ejecting it. This was not the case for the 3rd Generation shuffle. Furthermore, Apple has improved the on/off, shuffle and repeat buttons so they work much better.
As a cyclist and a runner, this iPod is ideal because of its size and weight. A common complaint is the lack of display, but this is not much of an issue if you are focused on exercising music and not exact songs.
A vast improvement over the former model.
Customer Review: Cutesy size, convenient, reliable, though limited in function
Summary: 3 Stars
The size and weight are its biggest assets. Sound quality is excellent. The earphones don't fit too well though. The iTunes interface is quite limiting, though that may have improved in later versions.
The lack of a screen does not make much of a difference if you are only going to be listening to songs on this iPod. Given that it is 1GB, you anyway won't have more than a couple of hundred songs.
The switch to switch it on, or to toggle between sequential and shuffle play are a little awkward to use.
The iTunes software that comes with it is not very intuitive or useful.
Excellent value for money.
Customer Review: Seniors love IPODS
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Senior citizen and not familiar with the new electronic gadgets
or computers that are on the markets these days. Not to mention afraid
to venture in this direction. Well I decided to step out of the box and
join a gym, get in shape and get a computer. Then I found out about the
Apple Ipod shuffle, just what I needed for the gym. Had a little trouble
figuring out how to put music on it, but Apple Support Centre helped me
and now I can help my other senior friends as they all want an Ipod now
that they have seen mine. I just love the compact size and the music is clear and it inspires me to walk.
