There’s not much to say about something that really doesn’t have hardly any exciting features to talk about, but I’ll try anyway. I’ve been using my new iPod Shuffle 4 Generation for a few weeks now and it’s pretty good. I wish it came with more features, but it’s a “Shuffle” right? So basically you can set the music to play two different ways, Shuffle or play all the songs on the player in order. You can also make playlists on iTunes and then transfer those to the Shuffle using the included sync cable (it’s pretty easy to do).
It does have “VoiceOver” which will tell you what song and artist is playing if you hold down the button that’s next to the power switch. That’s about all you can do with it though. For the money it’s pretty good, but I think I’d rather just get a new Sandisk Sansa Clip Plus for around the same amount of money. The Clip includes a screen, built in FM radio, and support for Micro SD Cards. But if you’re a die hard Apple fan and you don’t need that much memory to store your songs (it only includes 2gbs) then you’ll probably want to get it. All I can say is that it’s one of the best built mp3 players I’ve ever had, which sadly I can’t say the same for some Sandisk products.
Would you buy it, or do you have some other kind of mp3 player for your music? If so, tell me!
