"Shuffle style" player missing one key feature -- the shuffle. August 2, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
When they recently dropped in price, I was considering buying an iPod Shuffle to take running since my bulky Zen Vision:M was getting pretty cumbersome for the job. I probably would have been willing to pay for the quality and reliability of the big name, except that I didn't want to have to deal with iTunes. I knew I was taking a gamble on this no-name knock-off, but as long as I could just drag-and-drop files into a USB device and have it play them randomly for the duration of a morning jog, I figured not too much could go wrong.
Except that it doesn't play the files randomly. It just plays them in order, over and over. This shuffle doesn't shuffle. HUGE disappointment.
Plus, I was treated to a nice freak-out when upon connecting the player to my computer, my virus scanner, Avast, recognized its software (start.exe) as a Trojan. Since this player doesn't seem to have a proper brand or product name I could refer to, it was difficult to find out if this was a common or serious issue, but I did find one suggestion that Avast is prone to reporting false positives for this particular Trojan. On the other hand, I came across a story about a McDonalds-branded mp3 player that was recalled because it was supposedly shipped containing a Trojan, so I suppose it could happen. On the other hand again, I have to wonder if maybe there was never a Trojan at all, just another false positive reported by Avast that sparked a scare and a recall. I am about 90% sure that this player doesn't contain an actual Trojan. I ignored the warning and nothing adverse has happened so far, but it's definitely something to be aware of.
In short, I would only recommend this product if you have an aversion to iTunes or anything Apple, very little money to spend on a player, good system security, a healthy acceptance of risk, and a fixed playlist of songs you'd like to hear in the same order every time forever.
