I bought this shuffle because I was amazed at how small it was. The sound from this little device is very good, although it doesn't have as good of bass or depth of clarity as a portable CD player has. The standard bit rate recommended for the shuffle is 128 kilobytes/second. But me being the audiophile that I am, 128 kbps is not good enough. I used Windows media player to rip my CDs at 1,411 kbps(WAVE files), which the shuffle supports, and then I imported the files into iTunes. I went to all the trouble of naming each individual song file and importing them, but when I thought I had imported them, iTunes came up with an error popup window randomly on random songs saying that the file was lost, when I tried to sync them to the shuffle(some ended up on the iPod.) I got so frustrated because I had spent so much time on it, and it seemed like iTunes was just deleting my files from my iTunes library randomly and sometimes the same song over and over again. I am sure that if you are happy with 128-320 kbps that iTunes allows when you directly rip to it, the shuffle works perfectly fine, but all you audiophiles out there, beware!Get more detail about Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Silver (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL.
