I used the Shuffle today and had more thoughts about it.

- I should have gotten the half gig version of the shuffle. 1 gig is more space than I need for the shuffle’s intended purpose. Getting the half gig model + the USB power adapter + the sports case maybe a better deal.

- The USB power adapter might be unnecessary. I’ve just plugged in my shuffle and it is already fully charged. If you don’t drain it down completely, it goes to full charge rather quickly.

- The software seems buggy especially with audio books. Twice over the weekend when I plugged in the shuffle without the external firewire drive (which holds my iTunes library) my shuffle wiped itself clean. This also happens with music files but some of them don’t get deleted. I’m not entirely show why it does this. Also my spot in the audiobook keeps getting reset to the beginning or to the spot when I synced it with iTunes.
