I wasn’t sure if I’d use an iPod if I had one, and was hugely hesitant to invest the $300+, just to see if I’d use it.
Enter the mini shuffle, stage right.
Perfect! $80 and holds 2G of music, all I think I’ll ever need, since I like the idea of programming what I listen to, instead of carrying it all around with me. I love it! I have only used it twice, and I’ve had it three months. I don’t live the kind of life that needs musical accompaniment all the time, and I like listening to the radio (talk).
When I go for more walks in the spring, I imagine I’ll use it more. ditto road trips maybe?
