Caroline, Edinburgh , “30 something female”

+ I bought the shuffle for my 8 year old niece who was desperate for an ipod. She loved the colour and easily understands how to use itunes.

- My own choice would have been an mp3 player as I feel apple restrict options in itunes. I have an ipod but couldn't easily transfer some of my music onto her ipod from mine.

- Not supplied with itunes sorftware, which is the biggest letdown. So you can't just play with it out of the box. With the 2gb verson I got, I wondered, why can't the software for the PC just be on its memory in the first place with the option of deleting it once its installed?

+ This product was for my boyfriend for valentines day. He is a music producer and MC, with a group of friends, and required someting easy to use and carry about and this was perfect. He has already go over 30 albums on his.

- When we first connected it to the computer there was an issue with getting the full list of tunes, on our i-tunes, to show; so, selecting specific tracks and albums was very difficult. I'm not sure if that was an issue with the shuffel itself or the i-tunes, but it took getting three of his mates round to work it out. Basically there were not detailed enough instructions of use provided.

Manufacturer's Description

iPod shuffle, the world’s most wearable music player, now clips on in more vibrant blue, green, pink, and red.

Controls
iPod shuffle pays respect to its bigger siblings with a circular control pad that puts the “go” in ergonomic. Click the centre button to play and pause. Click the outer buttons to move back, skip forward and adjust volume.

Clip
Thanks to a built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip it to your sleeve, lapel, coin pocket. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks volumes about your style.

Shuffle switch
Embrace your inner rebel: flip the shuffle switch to mix up iPod shuffle’s contents. Flip it again to play your handpicked playlists and albums in the order you synced them from iTunes.

Battery indicator
Green means go, amber means you’re low and red means you’ve almost hit zero. But with up to 12 hours of battery life1, iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do.

1. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings
