Does anyone know if the iPod Shuffle keeps track of playcounts? More specifically, does it sync the playcount back to iTunes? Thanks in advance, Zach

How odd. I was *just* wondering the same thing. Do any of the iPods sync back play-count data to iTunes, for that matter? I have a smart playlist called 'backlist' which is all th…

I don't think the other iPods do that either.

according to the ipodlounge.com, the ipod shuffle will sync back the playcount if you set it as auto-sync, but it doesn't have the last played date because the ipod shuffle doesn't…

I just discovered that the Shuffle doesn't update the "last played" info. Because all of my playlists rely on picking songs that haven't been played in the last few days, I'm reall…

Looking forward to get my iPod shuffle 1GB soon. Just wondering whether anyone bought one and is regretting his purchase. I have not bought any MP3 player before, although I woul…

yeah. you made a good choice. dont worry. everything is going to be alright. yeah. shhhhhh. feel better?

i regret still waiting for my gig'r to arrive. i would especially be upset if i happened walked into an apple store and see one sitting on the shelf

I do not have one, but I am contemplating regretting my purchase should I ever actually get one, which is likely never.

nope. i got one for my mom, and have been playing with it for a few days now (i'm waiting on her to give me cd's to rip so i can sync her music onto it)... until she gets back to m…

I think if you know what you are buying... you will be pleasantly surprised.

I don't know what the rest of the world is like, but in the UK the Shuffle isn't being doscoubted at all if you're a student; it's �99 at the Apple Store and the same at the Apple …

There is an education discount for the US but it's only for the 1GB version. Apple takes off $10 to $139 for the 1GB. The 512mb version is still the normal $99. Hopefully they will…
