thought only can shuffle
but for the price, it's pretty cheap!
oh heck.. already got an iRiver about to fill and give to sis and a free iPod mini from singnet so, i don't think i need one -
Yeah you can only shuffle it...
Kinda dumb coS if you got songs of diiferent genres and language, you're gonna get Rojak. Imagine Eurodance one moment, Mak Sim's Flight Of The Bamble Bee next, and who knows, Guns N' Roses' November Rain. Get what I'm trying to say? -
I wonder, how do you adjust the volume? Does the control pad work like the scroll-wheel...
Ok got it, I juZ saw the volume controls on the control pad @_@ -
hmmm...i want one.
i like no-bullshit devices.
is that price off the apple site? i went there too...is it available in singapore? -
looks cool leh, can someone buy and give me as present?

Is it inbuilt batteries again?
If so, they really haven't wake up on their idea. -

someone tell me WHY they think i shouldnt get an ipod shuffle...because the minute it hits shelves at the end of the month im getting one
unless you can talk me into not doing so... -
Inbuilt batteries mean that you can't change the batteries by yourself coS you can't take the thing apart. Though I'm an iPod supporter, I have to applaude Creative's Zen Micro.Originally posted by the.raven:whats inbuilt battery?
The Zen Micro comes in 10 colours. On top of that, what really I admire about the Zen Micro is its battery's versatility. You can replace the battery the same way you replace the batteries of your mobile phone. That also means that you can purchase an additional battery =) -
By all means, go ahead and buy it. Its size is a + factor, however I think that the Shuffle is similar to most of the flash-based players in the market. Not really impressed with Steve's new toy.Originally posted by thinger:someone tell me WHY they think i shouldnt get an ipod shuffle...because the minute it hits shelves at the end of the month im getting one

Dont be dumb. the Creative Muvo NX200 is much better than thisOriginally posted by thinger:someone tell me WHY they think i shouldnt get an ipod shuffle...because the minute it hits shelves at the end of the month im getting one

I was thinking of getting the Shuffle as a new toy. Might seem fun hanging it around my neck for a couple of days =
-
ialways liked creative things, but somehow, i dont like their mp3 players (withthe exception of the nomad one).
so why is the shuffle shit? -
Actually the Shuffle is nothing special. It's juZ a premium player coS it carries the iPod series.
-
yeah i only like it cos of the minimalist face.
thats about it. and its got a gig of space. =) -
It's damn good lahhh...
You should check out da ad too. It's darn cool.
Anyways, stop whining about how it shuffles and you can get no control because, that's da whole point! Give chance and chance. Stop listening to that same song over and over again. In fact, it pretty much acts like a radio because you don't know what will come up next. If you don't like it just press next lor..
It's good because it serves as a really good thumbdrive wit nice design too.
Geddit it now! -
Because of the name branding. How you ask? Goes something like:
Tom :Its by Apple.
Dick :Woah! Apple! Way cool!
Harry :Made by Creative loh.
Sally :WTF is that?! -
Not oni shuffle of cos.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Yeah you can only shuffle it...

One has to download the latest iTunes 4.7.1 to allow iPod shuffle to be in sync with it. Cos the latest version has a extra panel that makes a different sorta Playlist & functions from it's big brothers. Drag & drop selected playlist in that shuffle panel(in iTunes) rather than jambo up all chapalang songs into the shuffle. That way, you wun have GnR faded out to Bee Gees the next track. -
Price is off from Apple SG website, no doubt abt it. BUT, you can get slightly cheaper price elsewhere.Originally posted by thinger:hmmm...i want one.

It's not alvailbale in SG yet. Goods will be in from 2weeks to end of month. -
On the contrary, it really depends on how u see it.Originally posted by Parka: Is it inbuilt batteries again?

Thing is, Apple is selling the lifestyle side of the music experience wif the iPods and it's iTunes. Technolgy and ya lifestyle habits changes and does so in rapid times. Is a portable CD player hip anymore? useful still but in terms of portability and size... mp3 players is the way to go. But, for how long this fad will last? Perhaps, new technologies will emerge and kill thes players.
So, coming back to the batt thingy... perhaps they are targeting at ppl who are looking at the lightest player and that they wun listens to music 24/7 kinda thing. Visualize the picture of a person who takes shuffle for a jog. That said, u wun need a hey-we-kill-iPod-with-our-long-lasting batt to finish task like that. Also, consider the addtional weights too.
