[...] When I started listening to the iPod Shuffle this morning, I realized what I had on my hands was a playlist of my most favorite songs, each one with a memory or a story associated with the song itself. I didn’t need to skip songs because in many ways it was musical bliss. Today, when I listen to music on my computer, I often resort to using the Genius feature – mostly because it makes it easy to auto-magically find music from a gargantuan music library. It had initially taken me nearly six months to build a perfect list and then only keep adding to it, something I described in a post I wrote back in September 2005 as the iShuffle Principle. [...]

The thing that really distinguished the shuffle from other flash players (for me) was the weight. 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.

No, the reason for iShuffle is a small, inexpensive flash-based MP3 player. 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.

brian, my way of listening to music is in the shuffle mode – you might want to make a playlist, but the reason for ishuffle is randomness. and even if you are going to make a playlist, as i did, i wanted that to be simply perfect.

The Shuffle

I love the iPod Shuffle. I love it more than the iPod. I started with the 1 gig Shuffle, and then gave it to my brother to trade down to the 512 MB shuffle. Why? Because there was something fun,…
