Do the iPod Shuffle!

Post by **benheck** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 6:29 pm

Hey, any of you see that new iPod shuffle thing? A friend of mine has one (the gig model) and it's the BEE'S KNEES! (old-school term for good)

It plugs right into your USB slot which loads songs AND charges it! So it's also a 1 gig USB thumb drive. Holds like 300 songs, and it's insanley small. Despite that, the volume is LOUD and has better freq. response than I would have imagined.

To quote that hobbit from LOTR: "I'm getting one!" Well, in spring when I have more opportuinity to go outside (and they're actually OBTAINABLE)

I'm probably going to get a Mustek Personal Media Player.

Sorta pointless when you cant choose the order in which the songs are played, as in random.

you can actually put a playlist on it to listen to your music in order.

yes cause when its on it runs form flash memory forabout 3 songs when those songs are over the drive spins to load another three songs. If dropped when loading it scratches ortherwise its fine. But I intend to run jump skate board etc with my player thats why the shuffles for me and I'm *gasp* going to the apple store this week to blow $149 on the 1 gig model.

might as well put it here.
IS there any way to use the shuffle under linux without using wine?
Is it just viewed as a flash drive?

^Most likely.

As they've mentioned it it can double as a USB thumb drive I'm guessing that the mpg/AAC decoder is serperate and just reads the files as they are.

Isn't that the thought that started this whole website?

I'm sure the iPod Shuffle would be a lot better if it had a PSOne screen attached to it
