No playlist option 2. No LCD Display No Playlist means = boring... You mean to tell me, I can't group songs together in playlists or folders. It is just a one shot deal where I dump 200 songs into the IPOD shuffle and play. damn, I feel stupid for not knowing this before I bought it. I am going to return it ASAP. There are a shit load of MP3 players in the market for ~50 to $75 that play everything (only mp3 not mp4). Mp4 players are newer and a bit more expensive. The only good thing about IPOD is that it allows you to set the volume and equilizer for the songs.. which is cool. Where as commercial Mp3 players just copy files straight into folders... No software, just firmware. Copy songs put them in folders and that's it.. Sometimes you get a built in equilizer. IPOD 1st gen 10GB. Had this for 1 year then the problem started creeping up. It just froze like (windows) and all other buttons pressed after that would be irrelevent. Usually, it took 2 or 3 days for the thing to reset itself. It would literally stay frozen till the battery ran out! This freezing thing happened once or twice every week for the last 2 years. And now the damn thing completely crashed. It shows 8 GB data but then it can't find any playlists. ITUNES Windows won't recognize it, Mac doesn't recognize it. Ipod shuffle sucks because of the following:

Wal-Mart. 40 bucks. Hot pink. Yay. It originally gave me a problem because it appears as an external USB mass-storage device on my Windows XP system, and I can drag and drop songs to it, but when I try to play the songs, the little light on top blinkies orange and green. After deciphering the sequence using the near-useless instruction card, I have determined it thinks there is no music on it. Why won't this retarded thing play my music? HERE IS THE SOLUTION........ I don't know why its so hard to determine this fact, and THIS is the only website I found that explains it. Your iPod doesn't play mp3's. Apple devices speak the antiquated "Quicktime Format" language. Duh. Get thine self online and download itunes from here... http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ Its free, its stupid, and you need it to convert your mp3s' to quicktime. It will also show you how to do the secret Apple user handshake and give you the password to the Secret Supercool Apple User Clubhouse in the woods near your place. Just download it and bang around on it for a bit. Eventually you will accidentally convert your music to Quicktime and load it onto your iPod Shuffle. Whoopie. You know, I seriously think the Chinese mp3 player I bought at an electronic liquidator is much better. It plays any format of anything. It plays ANY video, ANY audio, I think if you could jam a cheese sandwich in there it would play it. It has a radio for some reason, and a calculator, calendar,voice recorder and a spork. It was about 50 bucks. The iPod Shuffle is cute. But its just a flash memory card with a knob on it. Thanks for letting me rant, or as they say in Quicktime "Golfclub Hairstyle Fish!"
