Tell me oh wise ones

So lately I've been casting my eye in the direction of Ipods. I've actually spent a little time looking longingly at the Ipod Classics. However, that's more than can justify spending a toy at this point in time. So instead I've been looking at the more realistically (for me) priced shuffles.

As usual when I have questions, I fling them out to the world wide web for comment and guidance. Anyone want to share their Shuffle thoughts--good, bad, or indifferent?

[Poll #1084670]

Good grief, it's always something with my poll creation! Now that I've posted this, I see that option number four in question two goes better with question one. Or perhaps was better left out altogether. Oh well...
