Press the center button to play and pause, press the outer buttons to skip forward and back or adjust the volume up and down. The iPod shuffle now supports Genius Mixes, the popular iTunes® feature that automatically creates mixes from songs in a user’s music library that go great together.

iPea, GoGear MP3 player is easier to use than the Apple iPod!

byrgathright Dec 10, 2009

Pros Price, 4Gb capacity, no need for supplied software on most computers

Cons Slow transfter speed

Recommended it? Yes

Monday I decided it was time to get a new portable MP3 player. My choice, after looking at several in a local store, was the Philips GoGear Vibe 4Gb. My older Sony D-NF340 Personal CD Player was a great device that lasted for many years but the lack of a configurable equalizer and only... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Compact

Cons None

I purchased this mp3 player to listen to inspirational music during my weekly prayer hour at church. The sound quality is good and it is very easy to sync your music to it. I use Windows Media Player instead of the program it came with (Rhapsody, I believe). It is difficult... Read full review »

Although it doesn't have... Read full review »

The Apple iPod Shuffle 4th Generation Blue (2 GB) MP3 Player

Pros Comes with clip, small, comes with headphones, durable, charges fast, cheap, and holds...

Cons Small, no screen, only about 2GB of memory, and durable but scratches easily.

Recommended it? Yes

The 4th generation iPod Shuffle is surprisingly, not a terrible buy. At 1.1×1.24×0.34 in and .4 ounces it is the smallest iPod yet!

However that is not always a good thing as it is disturbingly easy to lose if you are haphazard with your possessions. ... Read full review »
