Title: You get what you pay for
Review: Do NOT buy an ipod shuffle. I've heard that Apple is phasing out this model, which explains the reduced price.One of the main reasons is faulty firmware in the Shuffle. I've only had mine a little over a week and it's already dead. And believe me, I've tried everything. There's a bad habit in Shuffles to go into "blink" mode, which means bad medicine. Once a Shuffle unit goes into blink mode, it becomes next to impossible to get itunes or Windows to recognize it. That means no song downloads, no updates, not even any Windows based tech diagnosis.Apple is offering replacements, but the S&H; for the return is $[...], and even then there's no guarantee that the replacement will work any better. My 5 year old Intel audio player is more reliable than this.. thing.Stay far, far away from the ipod Shuffle. I was optimistic, but for only 70 bucks, I guess it was too much to hope for.
