thinking of getting one today, but not quite sure how the MB or GB relates to actual songs.

I just did a test with a folder I have with 5 songs in it ranging from about 3:30 ro 4:30, which I'd imagine is normal song length. The songs are 192k.

With that test, it looks like you'll average somewhere around 90 songs in the 512MB Shuffle, and 180 or so songs on the 1GB shuffle.

ummm shit... I have the 512mb one, and I get about 120 songs on there, give or take...

and then I think the 1gb can hold 240 songs, give or take...

I say give or take, because it all depends on what bit rate the mp3 was encoded at... Obviosuly you will fit more songs at a lower bit rate, but if you put songs that are 192 or higher, you will get around 120 songs.

I love my shuffle. Best "beater" portable player I've ever owned. Get better headphones for it though; the sound quality is pretty darn good but you'd never know it using the stock buds.

Whats a good pair of buds? I am in the market for a new set....

Really depends on how much you're willing to pay and what your own musical preferences are.

I use a set of Grado 225's with my shuffle. I prefer full sized, open headphones even for portable use because I don't like the feel of earbuds or the isolation of in-ear-monitors... doesn't hurt that the Grado's sound great with rock either.

The shuffle is the best thing ever, especially if you use it working out, running, etc. It's so damn durable, light, and convenient, plus the battery lasts for friggin' ever.

I have a 512, and maybe 100 songs on there... just perfect for those 1 1/2-2 hour work out sessions.

:O
I don't think I've been able to squeeze more than 90 tracks into my 512. Time to re-encode to higher bitrate maybe? That, or you must have some really really short songs in your library.

is each song only 30-60 seconds long? how do you get through them all in a single workout session? :lol

Nah, I'm not saying I'm going through each song in a workout session. It's just the perfect complement TO a 2 hour workout session.
