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.

I have had the IPod Shuffle 2nd generation for nearly a year now and I cant fault it at all. The battery life is great, once a month I charge the shuffle and thats me working out approx 4 times a week. I have read comments concerning the clip on the shuffle but Ive never experienced any problems, fair enough if you clip it hanging on your clothes it will fall off when your running but thats easily resolved by clipping it the other way ie onto the waistband of your shorts
The sound is perfectly fine, size is ideal, to me this is the perfect workout mp3 player, holds enough songs and yes fair enough you cant see what song is coming on and you cant go to a song easily however it is a shuffle and not designed for playlists etc, thats what the Ipod Nano's are designed for.
If your wanting a mp3 for the gym to me this is perfect.

Just received one of these little babies for my birthday. Its just wonderful, sound quality is amazing, quality of product excellent, easy to use and just about the best mp3 player I have owned.
After half an hour and for me thats fast had downloaded all my songs clipped her neatly into place and was pounding the streets.
Would recommend to anyone, for the price well worth a look at.
Hype well deserved. October 24, 2007

It's not often I give in to the latest trends or fashions, but this one slip up turned out to be a winner.
The sound quality is fantastic and it's so light I barely notice I'm wearing it. The head phones are comfortable and the snazzy purple is cool. Now those long walks home are more fun.
I'm glad I gave in this time.
Fantastic and unbeatable value for money May 24, 2008

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!
