iPod Shuffle

Anyone here have a shuffle? I'm looking for something compact, mainly for use for audiobooks and for music at the gym. This seems like the natural choice. Any reviews?

I bought one to replace my nano and love it. It's cheap, so when it inevitably stops working, it's not a big deal. I primarily use it for podcasts and for short playlists at the gym. I think it's a great choice.

How about a Sansa clip? The 2gb model can be had for around $50. You get better sound, and better control.

I have one. I don't have any great need for exceptional sound quality as I only use it when on a run or commuting on my motorbike. I reckon it's excellent; compact, lightweight & simple to use. Mine's a 1-gig, they make 2-gigs now. Unless I plan on running a marathon it has more than enough storage space. Great value for money.

I actually find it very frustrating to not be able to find a song easily. You are a slave to whatever order the song were in on your computer when you synced it. That can be really frustrating. I once had them sorted by time (to find a podcast) and never changed it back to artist, and when I was listening later trying to hear an entire album, it was maddening.

The best way to use it probably is to switch out playlists. But that's kind of a pain.

That would be my recommendation as well. My mom has one and really likes it.

Another two that I'm thinking about right now because I'm charging mine:

1. it has to be plugged into the computer to charge

2. it seems to take FOREVER to sync. My older (big) one never did this.
