Are you searching for an portable media device that will allow you download music from your PC or Mac and play it on the go, while not ruining your budget? Then one of the least expensive, yet powerful options, is the Apple iPod Shuffle.

These iPods give you the same essential functions as the iPOd Nano or the iPod Classic - the ability to quickly and easily download music from your Mac or PC via a USB cable that connects the two - but with one significant difference: The iPod Shuffle randomly selects the songs that are stored on its hard drive, and plays them as they come up.

This can be a great option for people that enjoy a variety of music, but don't have a particular need to hear songs from a certain artist, album, or genre. It can also be a great option for long bus or train rides, where the variety in music selections can help keep your mind occupied.

At less than £100, the iPod Shuffle also makes a great gift for students or other people on your birthday or holiday shopping list. At that price, you can afford to give a gift that your friends and family will be able to enjoy for years to come!

Do you have a family member or friend to buy a birthday or holiday gift for, but have no idea what to give them? The best way to give a gift is to find one that the recipient will be able to enjoy for a long time to come, without draining your bank account. One product that can do this, while showing that you put real thought and effort into choosing the gift, is the personalized Apple iPod shuffle.

Your gift recipient will be able to download music files from his or her Mac or PC directly to the iPod Shuffle, so he or she can take the music anywhere. These iPods randomly select from the library of music that has been downloaded, and plays these songs in random order.

Not only that, but you can choose to have the iPod shuffle personalized by having the recipient's name or a custom message engraved on the case. This make the gift as unique as your recipient is.
