phenryiv1 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I normally work out at the gym on site at work (and our director give 3 hours/week paid admin leave to exercise, for health reasons), and a long-time friend of mine works out here with me. He just got transferred to another facility, so i will be on my own. On days where we work out seperately, I had been using an old RCA Lyra MP3 player (265MB) with an additional 512MB card added to it. Well, last weekend I went to add more music to it and my laptop could not recognize it. Then yesterday, the headphones died. :fs1: Looks like time to get a new MP3 player. I was about to order a 1GB shuffle from walmart ($50 with an armband and accessory kit) when I decided to check the Apple site for their refirb offerings. Lo and behold, 1 and 2 GB shuffles were on special, $29 for the 1GB and $39 for the 2GB, with free shipping. :cheers: I went with the 2GB in silver.

wolfpackjeeper Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I just fixed my wifes Ipod. She has one of the OLD 20GB ipods with the thick case and the green screen (2nd Gen I think). That thing is a trooper. It has been thrown and dropped, it runs in her car constantly (driven by head unit). It froze up on her the other day while she was already having a bad day so she flung it at the wall, the second time she did it the case broke open. I will be damned if after I put it back together it doesn't run just fine. It is 7 years old, and I think we may be able to get a decade out of it if we try. The new ones are good but they do not last as long from what I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I bought a 1gb shuffle on eBay a while back for about $38 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Haha, thats funny that this just came up because i bought a 120GB ipod last week for the same reason (going to the gym). Used to have a 5GB Olympus mp3 player but it kept freezing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenryiv1 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I almost bought a Nano, but I only use it at the gym. I don't need all of the additional features. It would be nice to have multiple folders (one for lifting, one for cardio), but other than that, the shuffle has more than enough space and features.

jtdesigns Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I got a 60G when they first came out... 3 or 4 years ago now i guess.. my batt is gone...... and the case is scratched to he!!... I wish I could get a new case for it.. never had a problem other then the battery not holding a charge.. last for about a whole 3 mins.. if not plugged up.. I have a link system in my Prelude through a Clarion Head unit and the suck thing about all that is I had to make new folders and play them like it was a cd changer.. Kinda wish it (Clarion) would pick things like most played or type of music,, genres ,, ect.. Instead I have to put music into folders called Clarion I , II, III, ect.... Its hard to get what you want when you have alot of music.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Does the shuffle just play songs at random? or can you create song lists and play them in order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenryiv1 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Does the shuffle just play songs at random? or can you create song lists and play them in order? I know that you can create at least one playlist an dhave it played in order, but I don't know whether you can store or import multiple folders on the shuffle.

BLHTAZ Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The shuffle will play in order or random, but you can not create multiple folders. There is no way to access them even if you could with the Shuffle being about half the size of a business card and no display screen. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
