Default ipod shuffle.........

At only £40, looks a bargain, but how do you:
a) find the track you want and ,
b) see what track is playing?

I really don't like the whole idea of the shuffle, if your budget is just £40 I'd look at another mp3 player.

i believe you can't choose your track. Italy just random. don't like them personally. best getting a nano or a classic.

It has voiceover. If you like what you're hearing press the voiceover button on the top. Finding the track you want isn't really what the 'Shuffle' is about, there are Playlists and you can navigate those easily using voiceover. Switching from Shuffle to playing in order has a simple switch.

It serves its purpose: Something very light that you can clip on whilst doing sport.

As above you can't choose a track, although you can build playlists and use 'genius' to find songs that are similiar.

Not really for me, but quite cool in use.

Sainsburys had 16GB Nanos for £109 and I had £50 of Nectar points to spend, so grabbed one. Still getting use to the touch interface compared to my 3rd generation Nano.

The shuffle's great. I have one of the early ones and I don't even use the shuffle function - I just press play and listen to my albums in order while jogging. It's teeny tiny and it's good company on a run.

Then it's no good for the over 58's with a memory like a sieve.

I bought one of these after i lost my i pod touch in Belgium some weeks back
didn't fancy paying £200.00 plus for another one.They are tiny things but it is not too bad actually.You have to press the round button next to the on/off slide button to hear track names etc,1 press give you the name of song playing and press it twice for something else,can't remember what though.

The on/off slide button also shuffle songs.slide it once to turn on,then again to shuffle.

I like all the albums I have on there - I don't feel the need to skip anything. Particularly during a run.
