The idea of an iPod Shuffle is so intriguing. I love the ability to carry around 250 or so songs in all kinds of unique combinations of playlists. Of course, it would be better if it actually worked. I received one as a gift for Christmas and I'm now on my FOURTH one - having returned three of them after they stopped working. Arggghhhhh.
So tomorrow I make another trek to the Apple story to visit my own person genius, Omar. Yes, they really call their techies geniuses. And, yes, his name is Omar. We're on a first name basis now, since my last visit was just last Monday.
I suppose I'll go back to my Zen MP3 player which isn't nearly as sexy looking, nor as small. But it has worked without a hitch for at least 3 years - and I've never had to return it - not once.
If anyone has had similar experiences, or can recommend another iPod that has better reliability, I'm all ears.

my old 3 series has worked fine for about three years now without incident. Bummer about yours. I would send a direct complaint to Jobs if I where you...

Went ahead and upgraded to Nano today...we'll see what happens next. I'm sure you'll all stay tuned for the latest update to my musical conundrum.

I personally think it's the shuffle - not the product but the concept. Music was not intended to be shuffled - that's why they made cards. A price must be paid for defying the laws of art - and physics.

Wow ! That last comment was just cruel - some sicko no doubt. I hope the aggravation from the Shuffle fiasco can be offset with the fun you've had getting new experiences from your music, and your new Nano will increase the possibilities.
If I had met you just last week I'm sure I would have taken a critical look at your iPod as I did your record collection almost 30 years ago [!] and been just as impressed !
And I liked your latest invention - the alphabetical playlist - a clever sense of adventure wrapped in an orderly disguise - brilliant !
Can't wait till our next highway adventure to experience the next musical transliteration. Would be fun to try a honeymoon do-over with Sabu and Nano.
