I'm going to give my 2G Shuffle one more chance - reformat the thing and transfer a few WAV files to see if it makes any difference, but it was such a disappointment after my happy memories of the 1G.

That said, anything under 16GB just doesnt cut it for me as a 'real' DAP any more - YMMV.

Definitely an improvement with ALAC and WAV - foobar told me the WAV files werent supported, but they seem to play fine. Wont be selling the X in favour of the Shuffle, but its more bearable with female vocal and acoustic - harder thrash soon has the little guy pink-faced and sweating. Just occurred to me that this is the all-conquering Wolfson DAC - I'm afraid Apple didnt spend enough time massaging this particular model. Back into the bin with my RE0s

Much I loved the 1G Shuffle I wouldnt get another. I had two fail through some software glitch that couldn't be fixed, the flashing lights problem.

I am on my second 1st gen iPod shuffle. The first was struck with the deadly flashing light problem which couldn't be solved by any means. The new one is flawless, but still a 512mb shuffle.

Nextworth has been selling these on eBay (1GB, used, with a new battery installed) for $17.99 shipped, which is a killer deal.

I had the flashing lights problem then went to another computer not on line. I did a full reformat like it was a flash drive, then used that computers I tunes to load songs. I feel great as I was able to get the 1st generation 1/2 gig Apple Shuffel from the flashing lights death.

I tried everything from what you mentioned to Apple's method. In the end, it went in the bin. My 512 is serving very well still.
