it is as far as i know, the worst ipod ever made for sq and for sound opinion. however, it is not terrible for portable and especially exercise use. just not a portable fidelity option

I would have to agree. I tried using my sister's 2nd g touch (green) and it hissed and sounded horrible. Don't be misunderstood though, the 1st g has amazing sound quality; if you can get your hands on it you should get it.

It's considered by many to be one of the worst sounding ipods (which means slightly below average sound), but it can't be beat for portability. Something to also keep in mind is that it can't playback lossless.
I personally have one in the mail and it will strictly be used as an "active" dap - - Apple has various colors refurbed on their site for $29 with free shipping and I couldn't resist.

I agree with the others. I don't mind the hiss too much because my Shuffle only gets used at the gym or during outdoors conditioning, places where music and podcasts are just background.
If you want something small with good SQ, you should look into the Sansa Clip. It's getting a lot of attention. 8GB for $49 at Wal-Mart.

I too saw that, but felt it was not worth the extra $20 just to get beat up and abused.
...and I'm a sucker for DAPs that have docks.
