A microscopic masterpiece. If you don't need an entire back-catalogue at your fingertips at any one time this is the player for you.

You might need to upgrade the earphones.

Very small and handy when excersising or listening to music in general. 1GB which is a good size for me, you do actually get around to listen to all the songs. Nice colour and style.

Nothing bad really but quite pricey for such a small ipod.

It does exactly what I want. I download beginners Spanish and listen where I can. It is small, easy to carry and as new do not know how long battery life is and not aware of the cost of a new battery. Perhaps this will be expensive and take away the ten out of ten score.

Sound quality is very good but 10/10 would have to be out of this world which you wouldn't get from the earphones used for such items. Range of features is very low but I wanted something simple and this is exactly that. I love my shuffle and certainly don't regret my purchase
