My main portable player is a 60 gig iPod photo.
I recently got a Creative Muvo Micro N200 1 gig player that I absolutely love. I think it looks great, sounds good, is extremely portable and is easy to navigate. It also has some other nice features that I have not yet gotten around to using like an FM tuner and voice recorder. This player is used for working out and lawn work or basically any activity that requires me to walk around and not want to carry around the bigger and heavier ipod.
With all that said... I have around 650+ CD's in my collection and I have them all nicely ripped into 192kbps AAC format in iTunes. My one (!) annoyance with my N200 is that whenever I have to put new songs on it I am forced to rip my selected CD's into MP3 or WMA as those are the only formats it supports.
My questions is whether you think an ipod shuffle would be a more practical and equally (or more) satisfying gadget to use as my ultra portable? The major things I would lose in the N200 would be the AAA battery support and the LCD screen. What I would gain in the shuffle would be the seemless integration with itunes and my already ripped library.
Thoughts?
