I have a first generation Shuffle, and let me tell you, they don't suck as bad as people like to say. Sure, they have virtually no memory, so you can only fit between 120-250 songs (depending if you got the whopping 512mb or the even more whopping 1gb). But, they're light, and great for working out and taking anywhere, since they weigh virtually nothing. Good luck finding one, as I'm not ready to part with my lil 512 yet.
