But you can choose what goes onto the shuffle itself. For people who are more interested in certain songs to keep them going on the bus or wherever, it is a slick invention. 240 songs shuffled about on something as small as a pack of chewing gum, sounds decent enough. Think I'll hold onto my 40GB ipod for a while longer though, need those albums in my pocket.

Its just a USB solid state memory MP3 player and a poorly featured one at that. Hardly a new idea and its established rivals are better equipped with displays and stuff like FM radios and voice recording.

heh all , yeah some good points being made , I think if I'm going to invest it wont be in an ipodshuffle !

Karl, just been browsing your site. Can't check the music out at work, but will do so later this evening. Are you signed up to TAXI.com ? If so, do you recommend it and did gain any exposure from it? Just curious, as I had been thinking of joining a long time ago but wanted to see from an actual member if the price was worthwhile. Thanks, Keith

Heh Keith , cool about checking out the site , let us know what you think, yeah I joined a last year , it's quite expensive and you really have to join broadjam as well in order to submit everything online or it's just not worth it. The feedback from the reviewers is excellent , but you have to have some decent material before hand , I got a good few "referrals/forwards" i.e. to industry people but haven't heard anything back , so I'll be debating myself whether or not to join again , hope this helps , if I can help with any questions give us a shout , cheers Karl.

its not only a shuffle, you can have it play tunes in order as well... but like Gar said, ill hold ontae the full size ipod for a while yet
