Apple's encrypted earphones

Hadn't heard that (no pun intended).

That's just.... dumb.

Apple learned too much from Microsoft. So dumb.

I hope the Shuffle would just go away.

I like my Shuffle... it's perfect for when I go to the gym. I just wish Apple would stop coming out with new ones 5 minutes after I just bought the other one.

Mine is good for the gym, too, but that's all I need. I don't need one that is just a stick with no buttons and a proprietary headphones -- I'd like to be able to use by Bose earbuds, thank you! Plus, if you're going to the gym, why do you need a 4GB device that holds 1000 songs? 1000 songs and NO frigging screen and buttons?

What are the Apple product guys thinking?

I'm torn between loving my iPod and hating Apple (and hating myself for loving my iPod!). I'm betting, as with any Apple products, replacement headphones (Apple or authenticated others) won't exactly come cheap. What a cynical rip-off.

The headphones thing is stupid. I have to go replace my daughter's because she left the earbuds at a friend's house and now the friend can't find them.

I don't care about a screen or anything because I've yet to have anything bigger than the Shuffle (I want a Nano - so that's in my near future) and I can't miss something I've never had, right? OF course, that'll go out the window when I get the Nano...

Just bite the bullet and get the Nano and sell the Shuffle on eBay. You'll be happier.
