I was checkin this out at futureshop today and it was about 130$, 1GB, looked pretty simple. But the only problem with that shit is that i looks like it should cost about 10$, i was thinking of buying it but i want your opinions on it first.

i was thinking i might get one after i get paid... they look pretty decent they have a pretty decent storage space, you dont have to worry about breakinga harddrive, it wont shut off, and you dont need to buy batteries for it.

a mp3 player is less expensive and has a screan who wants to have to go through 70 songs to have to heard the one you want? They are over priced

they cost 300..so u only need like 200 more...or find 5 friends and do that free ipod deal thing...or you can be a dell jukebox which is cheaper or several other mp3's which are better than ipod shuffle

idk...if you were really considering an iPod shuffle...they did just lower the prices of a 4gig mini iPod to 200$...so spend the extra 100$ and get 3 more gigs of music?

its not the amount of space it can hold, its the durability that i'm getting it for.

the shuffle is alright. i know a few people who have one and they just seem to get a little annoyed from time to time because you can choose what you want. other than that it seems alright. good for skiing.

its worth the money if you want durability... that is if your talkinga bout the iPod shuffle... that thing seems like its indestructible... wel not completely industructible, but can probibly go through more abuse than a regular iPod

Get something with a screen, it will make you feel happier. Don't get the shuffle just because of the iPod name. Or just make your own music when you ski.

if you dont wanna spend money, i think the mini ipod is the way to go. for 100 dollars more, you can a screen, lots more space, and something that isnt a gay little strip of plastic. It's worth the investment in the long run, because i honesly dont think youd be happy with a shuffel..

i just bought a sick mp3 player with 512mb...its like the shuffle in that it's a usb jumpdrive...the only thing is that it needs a AAA, lasts a whole day on the mtn...make sure to get rechargable AAAs..there are no gay programs needed to use it

the shuffle is pretty cool, but very stripped down. The biggest bonus is that you get to use itunes to manage your music. No other player software comes even remotely close to it.

i sell 1gb shuffles for 189CDN+tax

the shuffle is perfect for skiing, running, driving in a car, etc. I got one cause I thought it would be good for a jumpdrive and it would be perfect for skiing. So far I'm very impressed.

my mom got a shuffle and i take it skiing and its really cool. its just for making a playlist so u shouldnt worry about searching around for a song, thats not really what its for, just put a bunch of good shit on there and ski. also, atleast with my moms. she got the 512mb and it cost $100 but if she wants a real ipod she can trade that one in and they'll give her $100 towards the full size ipod. its a pretty good deal if u just want something to ski to.

there are plenty of other players with screens for about the same, fi not a cheaper price.
