You have either the option to the Music 'shuffle' or in the correct order (if I have understood correctly, it is the order in which you have played it the music) to listen. In addition, you can select playlists or listen to the mishmash of all lists.
At the service have to get used something but if you have it, it is very convenient, because most commands are executed very quickly.
Interesting: The Shuffle can also coils (which, however, there was nothing in the manual): press center key short-long (before) or short-short-long (back).
Heat, cold and wet, he has endured, sometimes minor accidents. Only scratched the silver tab and -schmiert very quickly, but that does not bother me personally much.
Benefits
- Size: The iPod Shuffle is a little smaller than a clothes peg and holds just as well
- Headphones: Operating element depends on an ideal altitude, it is almost impossible to use this mistake. The length of the cable is 'normal-sized' for people perfect, neither too long nor too short
- The ability to create playlists
- Battery life is that the iPod is so small, very good
- Song announcement works very well, the various languages are recognized almost always right. The pronunciation of course, is sometimes not right, nevertheless is understood almost always, like title and artist name
- Can announcements battery level, and warns of nearly empty battery by yourself
Disadvantages
- Headphones: The biggest drawback is that the device can only be operated with the supplied headphones. Alternatively you can buy an adapter ...
Otherwise, there are just the typical Apple headphones with the typical criticisms: poor sound quality and workmanship. The plastic borders begin sometime to snap. Did they then even removed altogether, because I do not want it to have stalled the Schmocke in the ear. Shame on you for it, Steve Jobs!
- It now and then happens that you forget turn off the iPod and instead just paused, then what course eats some juice
- Price is an exaggeration, but it's just Apple
For whom is the iPod Shuffle is the right device?
-> Gym visitors, joggers, cyclists etc.
-> People who attach no great importance to sound quality and are willing to even buy an adapter.
-> People who do not constantly seek any particular song from your music collection giant
- To install> people who are willing iTunes
- To be used> people who are prepared the operating system of iPod Shuffles (my grandparents or small children I would not expect)
I would also add that this is, and certainly not the last my first unit of the Apple brand. With iTunes I coped quickly and now no longer use the Windows Media Player. Grab music to the player and creating playlists is quick and easy.
Conclusion: 4 stars (1 star deduction because of poor headphones)
