I got my own i-pod shuffle on monday……
Naaaaaaaaaaah Not that old thing i got this……..
Yeaaaaaah Baby!. i own this new ipod shuffle thanks to my Bro-In-Law. Man…..its awesome
The world’s smallest digital music player with 1 Gig space lets me cram around 250 songs into it. The size is awesome. Its smaller than a matchbox & weighs less than one too. The packaging was awesome…of course..it had to be….Its Apple’s 
Anyway i installed itunes first and then plugged my pod into its dock and then to the usb………Vola! It was magic. Itunes recognized my pod and started the initial setup..i named my pod “Shyam’s Pod” I did not want to give it a fancy name……ITS MY POD why the hell would i name it otherwise.
The next task was to load it with a few tunes…..ok not a few, but cram it with every tune possible. But filling 1gig manually was a boring task. i could not wait to listen to the tracks thru the pod so..i pound on “Auto Fill” and that was it, 1 Gig of pure music. So i turn it on and ……….”Pure Ecstasy”. The sound was awesome. I had a Sony NS-11 player earlier which was pretty good but this makes it look & sound like crap.
I’ve heard people comment that the taste of chocolate was better than sex, If that was true then……..i’d say Good Music on an i-pod its way better than chocolate.
