Does anyone have an ipod shuffle?

[Snoopy]

Not me (or should that be Not I?)

[Pastis]

Yes. Why?

Ipods are overpriced and you are just paying for the look and the brand. You can get other MP3 players that are technically just as good and dont have to use Itunes.

But I like the look of the shuffles. And the fact they are a clip. And that they come in pink.

Does the lack of playlist thing irritate you? Because basically you just load it and it plays whatever doesn't it? There is no way of actually selecting particular tracks or albums.

I'm happy with one of these ~ mind it's a bugger on the Northern Line

A radiogram! 

We used to have one... played 78s and everything... sliding doors on the front and the smell of the wood and valves...

I tend to use my mobile to listen to MP3's and use the remote so I normally dont use the playlist.

I would have been tempted by the Iphone minus the phone bit model they are flogging but having just seen the specs for the new N97 I know what I'll be getting next year.

Doesn't bother me at all. I've several numerous playlists on the Mac laptop so I just load what I feel like (far too many to listen to anyway) and then let it run. I can scroll forward or back, tune by tune, if one irks. The only thing I'd say is that the ubiquitous white earbuds are not that good and I bought a decent Sony Gold pair.
And errr... Pink?    Mine's Silver 

Plus, it plays in the order you load... unless you fancy a shuffle 

[Pastis]

I dunno. You take the trouble to answer a woman and then she goes Frank Bough

Ohhhh Snoops! Beautiful. We had one back in the 60's. Absolutely adorable. I used to sit right in front of it listening to the new stereo sound on the Beatles L.P's. Heavenly memories, aghhh.

Is that one yours you lucky bugger?
