Mostly I don't shuffle albums, but playlists that consists of a genre of songs are randomized. Otherwise you know exactly what is going to play.

And if you read smith's post you'd know that you can set the Shuffle at 'normal' play.

I don't see why I should get an mp3 player when my cell phone does the job just fine.

I just have a tape to audio plug and I use that on my iPod.

Yea, but then you get crappy cassette-player quality.

Amazing and cassette don't go together. Ever.

huh?

what about it makes it cheaper?

why would anyone get a regular ipod then?

They're the size of a pack of gum and perfect for someone like me that doesn't have 2349086908634257 Gbs of music and doesn't want to carry every song he owns.

nope, ripoff.

but I'd take one if given to me

how is it a ripoff? what would you compare it to, or rather, what did you wind up getting?

Aye, I've got a 4G 20 gig iPod, but I'm still tempted to get a 1 gig shuffle, just because its so damn small, and I can jostle it around indefinitely and generally be rough on it and it'll be fine.

actually, you can't get too rough with it, they're pretty cheaply put together.
