Apple iPod Shuffle Second Gen (1 GB, 250 Songs) MP3 Player (MA952LL/A)

The Ipod Shuffle is a great choice for anyone who doesn't need the fancy album art or LED displays. I chose this product to give me that extra boost at the gym. (Nothing like a little taste of the "Rocky" soundtrack while doing cardio.) The Shuffle also has a handy clip that attaches to anything with ease, and it stays secure.

I accidentally (don't ask) slammed the Shuffle against a hardwood floor and there were no problems with it afterwards. (Not even a scratch.) The thing is near invincible.

Anyways, it works and sounds great, and I like how you can shuffle or mix the songs whenever you want, that way you never know what song is going to play next. It's kind of like a listening to the radio, except you can choose whether you want to skip a certain song or not. Don't like the randomness? That's okay, you can mix the songs back into ABC order whenever you like as well- to pinpoint on that certain song you like.

The battery life is great. I once fell asleep and woke up ten hours later still hearing my ipod churning out the tunes. Charging it is as simple as pluging it into your computer.

Overall, the Shuffle is an affordable and reliable source for your everyday musical needs. Unless you just have to have thousands of songs on your MP3 player and the fancy album artwork, the Shuffle is highly recommended. 5/5
