Need a new mp3 player, and these have just been released and im interested in them both. It's either the Shuffle (And wait till october to get it) or get a nano or a mobiBLU, what do you guys think?

the new nano looks sweet, samething, no scratches, good all round, and it comes in 8gig flavors too

I rather like the new nanos, but its everyones opinion and likes though to be honest.

The thing is that certain songs are in and out of fashion with me at different times, so I like to have a playlist option, or genre, or album option... And while the shuffle is cheap as chips and would be more than a treat for doing any excercise or even around town stuff, constantly pressing FFW for 2gb of music without knowing what's coming next might drive me bonkers. Which is why I'm a teeny bit more inclined to spend an extra £50 and get a Nano.

I find you wouldn't use it where you'd use a iPod. Though I don't have a problem with the random thing. I don't keep that much on mine as I use 192~320kps. So when I find a track I want to listen to, I turn off shuffle and just listen to that folder/album.

I really like the new ipod shuffle, even more perfect for the gym and also doesnt even take up any of your pockets. But i'll be damned if i wear it as a badge to theives!

The shuffle looks cool, but, uh, it doesn't have a screen. If you had more than a couple of albums on there, I could see it being annoying to use.

I dont think thats the point of it though, I already have a Nano and a big iPod. The shuffle will be used for my playlists, of which i know what songs will be on there anyway.

I know. I agree it would be good in certain situations, but definitely not as a person's one-and-only/primary MP3 player.

I got the new Nano on saturday (8gb Black) and it is fantastic
