[lTraditional]

Well, I don't have much money atm so i am going for the cheapest Ipod untill i get more money and obviously the cheapest Ipod is Ipod Shuffle. I am going to get it tomorrow but i just want to know what it is like while i haven't had it before so if you had it then what do you think of it?

I haven't had one of the new ones but I've had some in the past. The newer ones read out the song name etc I believe, so although you don't have a screen it reads out what you're listening to :)

But yeah at the end of the day it syncs with your computer and plays music :P

Thats why i just want an Ipod Shuffle - Even though its not the best aslong as it plays music it doesnt matter. My phone doesnt have enough memory for music plus i cant download songs from iTunes ect so i just want the Ipod Shuffle!

couldnt you like buy a memory card for your phone? Might be a bit cheaper just a suggestion. But i personally never liked ipod shuffles as no screen but if you dont mind that then its perfect for you.

I have a memory card but theres no slot to put it in. Also, I don't mind about it having no screen otherwise i wouldnt get it.

hmm, if you're going to get a ipod shuffle (costs around 50 pound) you might as well just get a MP3 from argos or something for half the price

Can you download songs from iTunes onto it?

Essentially yeah. You convert them to an .MP3 and then just drag and drop onto the MP3 player.

The new iPod shuffle relies on the controls that come with the headphones which, being the white Apple ones, are terrible, so you can't use any others.

If I were you, I'd look for older iPod Nanos on Ebay.

You can use things such as (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=496831) to use any pair of headphones you like but some headphones have a remote built in that should work (from what I am aware they need to be "Made for iPod" due to a small chip inside the remote)
