Old guy wants an iPod!! Needs advice!!!
I am sure no genius on the subject, but I have two of the little shuffles. They each hold about 9 hours of music, and I use them at the gym.
I have both the ear bob things and the head set that holds the shuffle. When one needs a recharge, I just plug the other one in.
Not many people have them at the gym though, most have units as big as a cell phone, that must hold one heck of a lot of music.
