if you have more than 250 songs, dont mind spending atleast 150, and like to see you songs than get the nano

if you just want music and dont feel like paying alot, go with the shuffle.

Imao the nano's better plus you can watch videos and play games on it

i bought the new shuffle last week,after a day of having it the dam thing broke! How swag is that!

Go get the nano mate,however what i like on the shuffle is the ear phones where u can change tracks.The swtich is closer up near the head phone which is cool!

But still go for the nano :)

I had a Nano for awhile, and shattered when skating

So I picked up a blue shuffle yesterday, and its awesome for just cruising, and skiing and what not.

I would think they are a bit harder to break too

i got a shuffle, the second gen one, i really like it with the little clip, and i normally just make a playlist the morning before i go ski. Its a bummer if i want to listen to a song thats not on there, but oh well.

get a sandisk clip with an expandable sdhc card. small as a shuffle almost, as much storage, yet expandable.

only thing that sucks is the built in lithium ion battery (i prefer to be able to replace batteries)

i like the shuffle with the clip because i can just clip it to the side of my goggles and then when someone goes to talk to me i dont have to pull it out of my pocket and pause it or move my headphones plus its easy to switch songs when its on the side of your head real quick and easy

nano. You'd lose the new shuffle. Its tiny. Plus it doesnt have a screen which kinda sucks

2nd gen shuffle ftw.

clip it to ur helmet/hat, and the play pause button is big enough to hit with gloves on. i love that thing. plus i think u can get em for like 30 or 40 bucks now, cant beat that.

i'd def get the nano, way easier to find songs on it, more memory, and its price isn't stratospheric. definitely a solid choice for a first mp3 player

2nd gen shuffle. I have a couple ipods and the shuffle is my favorite one. you just make a playlist and go and you dont have to worry about dropping it or breaking it. i just really like them. ideal for skiing.

2 Gen Shuffle. I usually clip it to my goggle strap. Works fine. Plus it is balls cheap.

stay away from the new shuffles, unless you perfer the ipod head phones, or want to invest extra money for the adapter to control it
