It's just a shuffle so I don't really care to take pictures, I'm gonna return it to Best Buy and pick up a new surround sound receiver for my tv. I don't remember all of the timeline but the whole thing took me about a month to do. This is my second gratis site to complete.

How can you return it to best buy? That doesnt sound legal.

"Uhm, I got an ipodshuffle for my birthday but I already had one, can I return this even though I don't have the receipt? I'll take store credit."

or something along that line. no harm to either party.

Well I guess I'm more honest than that.

Guess so, but really, who does it hurt? They get a shuffle to put back on their shelves and I get store credit to buy something even more expensive. They will be making money out of the deal. And really, of all people to feel sorry for, best buy should be least on everyones list.

I gave in and opened it. This thing rocks, screens are so overrated on flash players.

Nope, I'm hooked. I'll be giving away my rio though probably.

It's a cool little player, 256mb with a display, but I don't like the controls on it, and you can't hand it around your neck like the shuffle. Using a short cord headphone with the shuffle around my neck is just awesome.

The rio is the chiba model if you want to look it up.

i never understood the point of mp3players that only have that amount of space, cos they always seem to be so expensive considering how much space you actually do get.

Yeah, I'd never pay $150 for this player, but for the $65 I spent it wasn't too bad. But I can load up 240 of my higher rated songs on here and hit shuffle and never hear the same song twice. Thats pretty much all I ever did on my 15gb ipod anyways. And it's about half the minis size and much lighter.
