«Amazing for it's tiny size....»
If you want something super small to bring with you to listen to your music while at the gym or while out running or walking, this is ideal.

«Perfect for my needs!»
I wanted an mp3 player for working out. I dont like things strapped to my arms or legs so a more traditional mp3 player was out of the question. Also I don't really listen to music outside of the car and gym so no need for a fancy player. Once I saw this thing in person I knew it was perfect for me. Its solid metal with a built in clip, also metal. Its extremely small and light. I can clip it to various parts of my clothing to accommodate the position im currently in. The sound quality is fantastic and I love the random song choices. You also can make your own playlist in itunes and use that but personally I like the surprise of random songs plus hearing songs that you may normally skip over on albums. As for battery time, well its never died on me. Seems to hold a charge forever, even when I don't charge it for a couple weeks while slacking on the workouts. Overall its been almost 3 years and this little thing looks great and sounds great. Also, in my opinion, the orange is the best color they have offered this in.

«Does what I bought it for»
I bought this specifically to use at the gym and on airplanes. The small size and controls that are easy to use without looking at them are great for both.
Using iTunes isn't that bad, but you really have to pick ONE computer for this device and only use it with that. Even if you try just to play the iPod through a different computer it won't let you. I created several different play lists in iTunes and every now an then sync a new one on the iPod, even though all the lists would fit at once. I do this because the shuffle does not have its own concept of a play list and forwarding through the songs to find the one you are in the mood for gets old.
In summary, limited, but good for specific things. Don't mistake this for a more general purpose player.
