That’s the final straw for my faltering iPod Shuffle. Just look!


The foam covering for my Shuffle’s earbud is ripping! Can’t have that now can we? It’s time for an upgrade. Might as well get a little video and support a worthy cause at the same time. 😉

]]> 1807 My Shuffle No Like Shuffle https://www.pulpconnection.net/2007/04/my-shuffle-no-like-shuffle/ https://www.pulpconnection.net/2007/04/my-shuffle-no-like-shuffle/#comments Mon, 16 Apr 2007 19:26:00 +0000 http://www.pulpconnection.com/2007/04/my-shuffle-no-like-shuffle/ My faltering first generation iPod Shuffle is acting up again. For awhile, it was working fine, but while out for a run yesterday, it went back to playing only a few songs over and over.

I always use my Shuffle in shuffle mode so by chance, I tried the “other” mode where the music plays in sequence. Hey, all the songs play in this mode! Good enough for me and sure beats hearing the same songs over and over.

First, it would stop playing for no apparent reason. The other day, after doing a sync, only 2 songs were available even though iTunes showed 16 songs.

I tried another sync and iTunes said the media was uninitialized, and there were no songs on the iPod. I then downloaded the iPod shuffle Reset Utility from Apple and gave that a shot. This utility wipes out a Shuffle, returning it to clean state with the latest firmware.

At first, the tool did not recognize my Shuffle. Scary. I waited a few minutes and tried again. This time, it saw my Shuffle and successfully reset it. I transfered songs to my reset Shuffle, and everything seems to be working okay so far.

Any other first gen Shuffle users having issues with their iPods? Is it time for an upgrade?

Its little green box has been sitting on my desk, so when I forgot my big iPod in the Sienna, I figured it’s time for the Shuffle. I unpacked it, connected it to my PowerBook, and sync-ed up some music. After four hours of charging the battery, the Shuffle was ready for a lunchtime stroll around historic Palm Circle.

The sound from this thing is amazing! I assumed a small, cheap item meant small, cheap sound quality. Nope, high notes, low notes, all good to my untrained ear.

This music player is so elegant and so effective that I have to rethink my iPod use. The Shuffle is great, actually it’s insanely great!

Okay, so cutting back on workouts and not watching what I eat isn’t good for the old waistline. But thanks to a promotion by Macys and Dockers, there’s an upside to all of this. Fat daddy has a new phat iPod Shuffle. Wow, it’s tiny.
