William, Somerset

+ Very small and lightweight.

- No screen so no way to select song, which can lead to endless skiping to find a desired track.

Mark, Glasgow

+ Turn it on and forget about it, so simple! I have an iPod Nano too but often use the Shuffle as it smaller and don't have to worry about it while cycling etc.

- None to speak of, however a some kind of battery level indicator would have been useful.

Lindsey, Warrington

+ My iPod shuffle is easy to use and as small as a pack of chewing gum, which makes it ideal as my music companion at the gym. I am never without it.

- It can take a while to charge unless you have a high speed USB port or a separate charger.
