Compare it to the rio - or any of the others I looked at, and the shuffle is a featherweight. That makes a difference for exercise because you don't feel it jangling in your pocket. Smooth edges are another nice thing some other companies haven't figured out. Having controls you don't need to look at to use is another. Before the shuffle I had a sandisk player with controls that simply snapped off. Quality is a good thing too.

It happens to have a random feature on it, and Apple marketed the hell out of that one feature to the point that people that the randomness is the purpose for buying it. It isn't.
