Well, I finally received my iPod Shuffle on Thursday. Unfortunately, it appears to be a lemon. It worked sporadically - I was only able to load music onto it once. Whenever I inserted into my G5’s myriad USB ports, nothing would happen. So, I finally broked down and called Apple. They were very helpful and after an hour of futile plugging and switching, agreed to send me a replacement. Secretly, I did not tell them that - against explicit instructions—I did, in fact… try to eat the iPod Shuffle.
