To have 1Gb to store songs but no LCD screen to see what songs you can play seems a bit pointless to me.

Well honestly I have no need to store 10,000 songs! And no desire to spend $300+
I just need something small and compact - the ability to store about 100 songs and spend $99 sounds just want I need.

It's also worth noting that not only can you not see your song, but you cannot select which song to play.

ANd to cap it all, Apple has deleted 3 lots of 15 songs from my sons IPOD. He's a smart techie but he has no idea why. Calls to Apple support are a waste of space.
I'm $45 out of pocket... Grrrr. Apple Ipod/Itunes security sucks.

Re: Apple ipod Shuffle
It would probably work out better buying a 2nd hand older 5gb or 10gb ipod off ebay than spending $99 on the new one, which seems to have a great deal of limitations.
I'd sell you my 15gb ipod if it wasn't for the fact that I'm one day going to hook it up in the car, so it stops gathering dust at home.

Slightly off topic.... I have a regular 20 Gb I-pod, I would like to download stuff from the BBC site such as plays, shows etc. I can listen to them through my PC but how do I record them, save them and then download a BBC streaming file to my i-pod. Is this possible??

I have one and the sound quality is pretty decent.

Re: Apple ipod Shuffle
Hmmmmm.... Yes I might re-assess. I think I may just as well go for the regular one - I don't really need to store that many songs, but the screen would be lovely. V. Useful for all the flights to London and back!
Plus they come in so many lovely colours now!
