I got my shuffle yesterday and found out that I can’t use it like I want to. I can’t plug it in and use it as a usb drive and at the same time listen to music through the mini plug. STUPID! It does make sense though, so today I took it to work and found iTunes wont link it so I can listen to the music. So the only way to listen to music on this thing is if it is unplugged from a usb port, you know, the way it was intended for. So I contemplated keeping it because I do like it a lot and I could see myself using it as an iPod and usb drive (just not at the same time), but I am hesitating to keep it and right now I am listing it on eBay . I just do not know what in the hell to do, I want to keep it because it’s the best mp3 player I have had but I could just put a bunch of mp3’s on my work computer and use firefox sync; then I wouldn’t need to have a usb drive continuously hooked up to my computer. But will I use the mp3 function, it would be cool to always have a usb drive and mp3 player at all times. So many benefits; so many disappointments.
Let’s just see if it sells first.
UPDATE
I guess it doesn’t matter anymore since I just sold it. It sucks because I was really starting to like it. I guess I will just fix my old ipod and use it at work and Sara and I can go buy a crib, metaphorically, since we always could have bought one. Oh and I made a couple bucks just to try it out, thats’s a good perk.
