Im clueless. LoL

Need to hold alot of mp3s thats for sure

120...you could just go to apple.com and find out you know

As it shows from the Apple Online store, approximately 120 songs.

Average lengtth at around 128kb/s I'd say around maybe 200 songs. Just my opinion, but don't get a shuffle. You'll spend more time "shuffling for songs than actually listening to them."

Too lazy to go to apple.com

120 songs..not bad.

what exactly do you mean by "alot of mp3s"?

it certainly doesnt hold very many compared to any of the harddrive mp3 players.

....you do know you can play stuff that are from a playlist....it will only shuffle if you tell it too....

lol You don't spend time "shuffling" for songs. The iPod does the shuffling or you can set it up by playlist. The last time I checked, consumer level CD players didn't have an LCD display either but you don't complain about shuffling through that yourself do you?

88 4-minute mp3s @ 192kbps
133 4-minute mp3s @ 128kbps

considering capacity being 512,000KB (not really 512MB - a bit less like most manufacturers do)


he didn't mean shuffling THE songs... he meant shuffling FOR the right song. he meant spending time looking for the song you want to hear in between so many shuffled songs.

lets see... shuffle through 15 songs or 120.... hmmm. The point is, if there's a song you really like, you have to "shuffle" to find the damn thing.

it's hard to say since mp3s come in many bitrate and filesize.

if you have 192kbit mp3s, approx 5 CD albums, 6 or 7 CD albums if you're lucky

if you have 128kbit mp3s, approx 8 CD albums, 9 or 10 CD albums if you're lucky

but it's very hard to say by mp3s...

PS- i wouldn't recommend the ipod shuffle b/c it doesn't have a screen... unless apple comes out with an accessory that you can replace with a cap so it can have at least a small screen...

^ Or just click the next track button and search for it that way. It doesnt have to be random.

not to sound noobish, but 192kps for best performance & sound quality?

And if a song is in 128, how do i turn it into 192?

no. the higher the better... i recommend 192. some desire 320.

and no. impossible to make 128 turn into 192 (sound quality and performance wise)...


it's kinda like recording EP on VHS and then going back to record that EP on VHS to SP

Yo. You're korean? Since you have the Boa avatar.

I have a 512 iriver flash and i get about 100-110 depending on what songs and such

nah.. nice guess though... i'm vietnamese, but BoA is soooo d@mn hot!!! and her voice is amazing!

Eh, shes ok. As a korean, i cant stand her. Fake cosmetic surgery, plus i always hear her on the the korean channel & on the music stations. Im so sick of her.

But back on topic, thanks for your help man.'

Yo PM me with your aim or msn sometime.

most of the reason I think this was insanely stupid on Apple's part. It's just a stupid idea...

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but as for BoA, she can really sing and dance, and is damn hot, and has international appeal. (She's now famous in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, China and some other Asian countries)

She debuted at 14, and now she's about 18, so there must've been a lot of changes in her appearance. You can't simply call that plastic surgery.

Anyway, I'm really glad that there's Vietnamese fan of BoA out there.

And back to topic, I don't really see the appeal of iPod Shuffle with no screen and no special feature unlike its competitors.

People people, you don't have to shuffle if you dont want to. You can just do it the regular way if you want.

yes she debuted at 14. Who cares? Also, shes been singing alot & been advertising alot of japan, hell, she might as well become japan since she spends 90% of the time there.

As a korean, i read articles on music & film celebrities for my company, dont ask.

She had some plastic surgery done like facial as in double eyelid which is common for some korean females in korea.

Plus, she cant sing for squat. Lip Synching as i call it.

There are other talented korean singers out there.

i think we all know that you dont' have to shuffle if we don't want. but it's still a pain to guess and check to find the track that you want.

to whoever said audio cd players don't have screens. they do, they have something to see what track number and sometimes the time elapsed or remaining.

as for mp3 players, it's more important to have a screen since mp3s have ID tags.

you know which group i do really love...

Do As Infinity!!! great band!!!

I guess you can call them the japanese version of no doubt, in a way?!

I'm a Korean but have no interest in her lol.

which "her" are you referring to?

Think he means boa..lol

I respect your opinion, and I can't argue against your saying that she had plastic surgery because I have no idea.

However, if you looked at some of her appearances in Japan, you'll see she always sings LIVE in Japan.

I also get angry how she always lip-syncs in Korean television show, and I don't understand why she does that too.

And there ARE many other great Korean singer out there, but she's still amazing for her age.

could this thread get any more off topic?

Actually when I bought mine before summer started all of them had LCD displays including the one I have. (and by all of them I mean all of the cd players that could play MP3s)

me bangs all hot chicks..... i wish
who cares if they can't sing or are plastic?

sorry off topic, but the question has been answered i believe

Its cool.... 120+ songs, low price and long lasting battery life.. what more could I ask for?

1gb is a good deal as well

Like i said, she should get a japanese citizenship, to me, she looks like shes kissing ass there to make her more famous while she lip synches in korea.

Er. Right. Course. Guess you dont understand its target market.

and at your sig

why would u get it? pay another 100 bux and you have 4 gb with mini

And a few more, and get an iPod.

And a few more, and get a 40gig.

And a few more and get a photo.

And a few more and get an photo 60gig.

Your point was?
