Shuffled on our Music Coil
It's not the Iggy shuffle. It's not the Curly Shuffle. It's not the Harlem Shuffle (or Polka). It's the iPod Shuffle, and it's sitting right there on Ponzi's desk - resting safely inside its original box. I picked it up yesterday after hearing her say that she still wanted an iPod. You should've seen her face when I handed it to her - and then you should've seen it when I told her it wasn't compatible with Napster. Oops. Suckfest 2005!
“It's basically compatible with any CD you rip from our shelves, or any MP3s that we might download from the Internet.”
So, why select the shuffle? A regular ol' iPod would be overkill for her, and she craves anything supremely lightweight. She's already got a Creative Zen Micro that doesn't get much mileage at all - and I rarely hear her turn on her Napster (although, she does use it more than I thought she would). I'm still super content with turning on the television or tuning into a radio station - especially KEXP's uncompressed stream. At least with the shuffle she can say that she's an iPod owner.

I have to agree with Drew and Andru. As the flash-based players go, my iRiver is a geek's best friend.

The shuffle might just be the right Ipod for me also, I wouldn’t get much use out of a music player unless it’s simple to use and easy to grab and go.
I subscribed to Rhapsody but am having trouble using it.
So, Santa, if you’re listening, I’ve been good this year.
Adding an Ipod Shuffle to my list. Thanks.
