One reviewer said that the price was much less expensive than other MP3 players with the same amount of memory.

The Size and weight were perfect, very small and lightweight. The fact that the Apple iPod Shuffle 512 MB plays AAC files was a huge selling point to one reviewer. Some of the things the user did not like were that there was no LCD screen to help guide you in the song choice section. Once you unplug the iPod from your computer the only way to find a song you like is to fast forward through each song. The user has said that if you are looking for a music library of sorts that the Shuffle does not work well.
There wasn’t a FM tuner or a voice recorder like some other MP3 players have, the battery life they felt was short compared to others. Other concerns were that the only way to charge the Apple iPod Shuffle 512 MB is to connect to your computer or you can buy a $ 30 charger. You can save money on a charger if you plan on staying local but if you want to take it on vacation and you aren’t carrying around a lap top then you have to spend $ 30 on a charger.
