I agree. Excelent review. I own mine for 2 weeks now, and one of the things that i can say is that it is nearly perfect. I personally have used the manual filling method and every time i already know what to expect. I think that the review was objetive enough because if you want somenthing that the ipod shuffle don’t have just buy another bigger ipod.

I love my iPod Shuffle. I got the 1 gig for $129.99. It is perfect for someone who uses an MP3 player to work out. The size and weight make it unobtrusive. The other versions would be weighty and hard to use while working out, this one doesn’t weigh enough to make you notice it, it won’t rip itself out of the headphones when dropped so you don’t drop it that much, and it can be operated by memory without looking at it. Like my other Apple products it just works. I know som pc users don’t understand the Mac user’s praise of Apple products it is the knowledge that you can go and purchase a Mac product and they have thought of everything, they are well-designed both functionally and visually and they work without a lot of messing around and praying like I always encountered with a pc product. Apple just works.

I got my shuffle a week ago. I love it. Its light and functional. I get to hear stuff in my music collection that I would forget to pick out. Occasionally I hear something and can’t place the artist, so it would be *nice* to have a display, but its not a *have to have* or anything.

Good job Apple.

My shuffle definitely doesn’t adjust the playcount. It used to, but the last six or seven times I’ve connected it to my PC’s USB it’s done nothing. What’s the deal?

This product is so close to being perfect and so far from it at the same time that I want to scream. Your review might be accurate but is hardly objective. This is typical of reviews for Apple products written by the devout. Every review I have ever read by MacHeads about ridiculous apple products (can you say “Cube”) are the same, filled with “excuses” as to why they don’t have the features that many, if not most customers want. It’s too bad really because some products Apple produces are fantastic. If Apple could depend on real objective feedback from its customers instead of the typical slathering dribble of mindless praise, it might help them produce even better products.

“Only thing I’ve seen that I don’t like so far is that the shuffle doesn’t update the play count and last played fields in the iTunes database (as its larger brothers do).”

The shuffle will update the playcount next time you connect back to your Mac (PC?). I just checked with mine and it does update. As for the “last played” field, the shuffle having no internal clock, it cannot tell you at wich time a tune was last played… Or maybe it could fill the field with your last docking of the ipod, I haven’t checked that one yet…
