Random
Sampling
Manila Bulletin -
Philippines
It could be what we iPod owner wannabe’s, who have remained such because of a
short budget, have been waiting for. The iPod Shuffle is the smallest on Apple’s
iPod line, not only in terms of capacity, but also physically. It’s about half
the size of a Nokia 8250, and it’s so light that it can hang around your neck
and feel as if you were just wearing a scapular.
The main problem with the Shuffle is that you can’t choose what song will play
next. Unlike other MP3 players that have digital displays, all that’s on the
Shuffle are buttons for play/pause, forward, back, and volume. Rather than
letting that be a weakness though, the Shuffle plays it up as its draw. Going by
the tag line “Life is Random,” it plays only in two modes, in the order that the
songs were uploaded, or, of course, shuffle mode. Those who want to be in total
control won’t be able to stand this setup, and it’s irritating to have to keep
skipping songs when there’s one particular song that you want to hear at the
moment. But otherwise, it’s fun to hear how the songs come out.
