Turny Any iPod into an iPod Shuffle

The marketing guys over at Apple seem to be really pumping up the 'never know whats gonna play next' randomness of the new iPod Shuffle. Since they are promoting this feature so much, saying things like 'Daily gridlock feels less mundane when you don’t know what song will play next,' I thought I'd put up my guide on how to give any regular iPod the cool new feature of the iPod Shuffle.

1. Get a Post-It note
2. Get your iPod
3. Put the Post-It note on the iPod

Now you can enjoy the iPod Shuffle's cool new feature without having to go buy a new player. Enjoy!

That's brilliant... you should market it. Seriously, though, apple should have put a screen on there, if only for an id3 tag display. It'd be worth the extra few bucks.

It's not the size of a stick of gum. It's the size of a big full out pack a gum. I don't think it's really all that impressive...

That new mac computar is absolutly amazing, my only question is cna you plug any monitor, keyboard and mouse into it?

All of rubin's cards were marked in advance

The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.

The judge made rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums

To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum

And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.

No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.

And though they could not produce the gun,

The d.a. said he was the one who did the deed

And the all-white jury agreed.

This ipod shuffle is a good idea cause it's going to get people who couldn't afford a regular ipod or mini get hooked on the apple goods. They'll most likely fall in love, and eventually shell out the extra money for the real deal.

the ipod shuffle is tiny and costs $50 less than the average player for twice the average storage space... and only $50 more for twice that, plus it's tiny.

I always listen to my ipod like that, anyway... on shuffle, and if I don't like the song, I hit next without looking at the screen.

Anyway, I'm going to trust Apple's judgement on this one because the ipod currently holds 69% of the mp3 player market, just with the HD models. Think about that for a second.

^yeah and since they're going after the lower end flash market now, i wouldn't be suprised if that number went up to 80-85% by the end of the year.

must be one of those super computers. but the only reason people will buy the shuffle is cause its an ipod, there are cheaper, smaller, fully featured, direct connect flash players available. and 1gb is too many songs to not have an display for.
suepr awesome cool!
