This is a question for all of you current shuffle owners...why did you decide to get it? Okay, it is ridiculously light weight but its not exactly like other mp3 players weigh 45lbs and strain your arm muscles. So why buy a device that has no screen, no playlists, and even lacks the basic function of allowing you to choose the track you want to listen to, especially with so many cheap options out there that have those functions? Please don't think I'm being a jerk or flaming or something like that...I just want to understand.

Yea I was going to ask the same thing. I don't think I could live with one of those.

I have my iphone and shuffle. I had my shuffle before my phone but the reason I bought my shuffle was because of its size and its price. I loaded it with all of the songs that I really like so I don't care what plays cuz I like them all. Every song is a surprise and they're all great. I use it on the bus to work everyday and at the gym. Thats it.

Wouldn't you rather have something with a screen though? If I'm at the gym and I suddenly get the urge to lift to some AC/DC, I can just select the artist. Don't you miss that?

I'd say that for a lot of people, it's a price-based decision. They want to own an iPod, but they can't afford a large capacity one...

The shuffle was pretty cool and had its niche. Clipping it on your shirt, belt whatever while you workout was cool.
It had its place but i think you are right with so many options now for mp3 players I dont see where it fits in.

Wow I remember I had a diamond rio 128mb back in the day lol.
Even that thing was super light.

I bought one for my girl because she wanted something very small to wear while working. It's functional she makes 1gb playlists on iTunes, then she can drag it straight over and have it with her. I hate that it doesn't have a screen but the beast plays for hours. Jogging, walking, and anything else that a person would want to lessen bulk. I gotta have my touch she can keep the shuffle.

but really, what threads will be under this topic cases and docks?

Personally, I got mine from my boyfriend, whom received his from a friend. I'm assuming the friend went with the shuffle because it's the least expensive. In general my friends that buy the shuffle are looking for something super easy, usually for the gym.

All the songs on my shuffle are ones I really like, so it doesn't matter which song comes up.

I got a Green Shuffle for my mum recently with engraving, She loves it because of its size and simplicity. She uses it when shes at work because it fits even into a little pocket. I personally prefer my iPhone. I Think shuffles are great, especially for people that are kinda out of date on newest technologies. and just want a simple little easy to use mp3 player to lestin to their favourite 80's music

i have both iphone and the shuffle. had the ipone first and just gut the newest shuffle which is perfect for what i got it for. i use to run with my iphone strapped to my arm no problem but when it came to hitting the boxing gym. it would be rediculous to box with a phone on ur arm. with the shuffle i clip it on to my waist and its like its not even there.
