iPods have a menu option to change between many options, so that should not be a problem. As shuffles don't have a screen and get their power from the USB port, there should be no…

You could set two different accounts if you have bank accounts in the US and France, thereby letting you purchase music from both iTMS.

Buying an iPod in another country is no problem at all. I've bought iPods in Germany and in the US. You can easily switch between different languages and, as was said before, the o…

Will work fine with the exception of the power adaptor which will require a plug adaptor when you get back to the US. Of course iPods are much much much more expensive here in F…

If you can, get an iPod from the US. It's not only cheaper, but it also has no volume restriction. The EU iPods have volume restrictions in their firmware (I think), and it did ann…

By the way, I'm in Paris and I just bit the bullet and bought a 1gb shuffle (the last one in stock) at an Apple reseller on Blvd St Germain. Apple has finally started marketing the…

I've heard from a kid who claims to have a 512MB shuffle, that it won't play an mp3 that is longer than 25 mins. Can anyone verify or check this?? I have no idea why they would l…

Even if that was true, that would only affect the minorty of users. Spoken & Word tracks is definitely NOT the main 'music' genre of the target audience of the Shuffle. -t

if that were true, it would be a problem for many symphonies and chamber works. movements of 30+ minutes are not uncommon. in any case, i highly doubt it's true.

this would be extremely untrue. Also think of how many DJ sets are out there. apple would be in a world of hurt if this were true.

I personally enjoy listening to dj sets that I download weekly off the net. That was my motivation for ordering the suffle. I sold my G3 iPod because I never had it full of songs…

That would definitely just suck. And I would consider it to be the type of problem that Apple should fix, rather than blame customers or tell customers to buy another product.

The time limit definitely is NOT true, as I have listened to a few Daily Source Codes on mine, which runs usually at over 40min - of course this is low bandwidth, so there may be a…

maybe his 512 shuffle was full.......or maybe he had some of it allocated to be a thumb drive. I can't see the shuffle caring how long the song was but it would cut the song off if…

Actually, that doesn't happen either - it just says that you are out of room instead of copying over half a song.

I put Kitchen Confidential, all 8 1/2 hours of it in one file on the Shuffle and it played fine.

Ok, guys. Move on, nothing to see here, it was just a rumor. -t
