Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $69.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
Unbelievably small. Sound is as good as any CD player I have ever used. Instructions not very good. Fortunately my son and daughter each have an IPOD, so they helped me to get going quickly. Download is a little slow, but I convert all music to AAC format so I can get somewhere between 10 and 12 hours of listening on it. Weighs nothing, so is great for running. Had one problem. On my second day of downloading music from my CD's, I got a message "software update available for your IPOD." I clicked cancel, got an "Update complete" message anyway and lost all my music; fortunately it was still in my ITUNES Library, but that little glich caused a lot of lost time. My wife listens to books on CD, so I bought her an IPOD Shuffle, and she loves it. She has both books and music on hers. I thought shuffling the tunes was more a gimmick, but it turns out that that is the way I use it all of the time. If I lost it, I would replace it immediately.

Strengths:
Small, light, has easy to use controls (I can use them while running without even looking down). Great sound.

Weaknesses:
Instructions need improvement. If you don't have basic computer skills (Click and drag type of operations, right-clicking, etc.) you may have a hard time.

Similar Products Used:
Nothing like this. It beats a portable CD player hands down.

Summary:
I also own the iPod mini, 4gb. I enjoy the shuffle due to its small package and versatility, it weighs less than an ounce!!

Strengths:
Versatility, compactness, sound on par with other iPods

Weaknesses:
Due to a flash memory, songs imported from iTunes is slow

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
