iPod Shuffle

Listening to the band Equation performing the song Communion, which is the first item in the playlist I created this afternoon for my brand new iPod Shuffle.  This is a complete fantasy toy, which plays only songs I really love.  I've mostly loaded rowdy rock-n-roll since I plan to wear this while exercising and good tunage makes the miles pass more quickly.  It's great for those Soundgarden/Creed/Staind/Fuel-type CD's where I only love a couple of songs on the whole CD.  I'm curious to see what the battery life is, and whether the metal earbud things bother my ears (more than the loud volume setting??!).  Love Apple, love my iPod, thinking I'm going to love my Shuffle.  After the week I've had, it's great to be rockin' out..
