Ipod Shuffle
Now that Ipod Shuffle is on sale for 50 bucks, I was thinking of getting one. Right now I am hulking my 20gig one in back pocket. For those who have the suffle, how are you attaching it while riding? I think I have seen someone who had it attached to the back of the helmet. Not sure if anything special needs to be done to make it work.
P.S. PLEASE DON'T TURN THIS IN TO SAFETY NANY DEBATE. I AM NOT INTERESTED.

Works great...light never feel it...easy to get to the control....
EDIT: I dont use the little cover for the shuffle..I just clip the shuffle directly in...it goes under my jersey so it doenst show...headphones run up the shoulder and back ....

I just clip it to one of my outer back jersey pockets. It is so light it stays put.

The shuffle is perfect. I clip my shuffle onto the front of my bibs, under my jersey, and run the earbuds up under the jersey also. Standard disclaimer: I only use one earbud, and only out on the mt roads.

Same here...the shuffle's great. Just remember with upgraded high sensitivity heaphones, you'll get the "hiss" at low noise volumes, which you'll prob. never use it for...

My bibs have a little "radio pocket" on them. I put it in there and run the earphone cord up my back so just enough cord pokes out of the neck of the jersey to put the earphones in (Yeah, I run both of 'em. Safety nannies can bite me.). The shuffle is *perfect* for riding. I Generally only use it on long, solo rides though. I like to be able to hear and converse with people on group rides.
If you put it somewhere not easily accessible, don't forget to "lock" the buttons, lest you accidentally turn it off while reaching for a gel, or something, in your jersey pocket.

Just in case you interested, I purchased a mono to stereo adapter at radioshack (https://www.radioshack.com/product/in...age=search)for $3.99 that way you can listen to music on one ear and the traffic with your other.

iTunes sucks.
IMO.
You don't want to know the story of it erasing over
300 albums of my music, not to be recovered. Oh, told you anyway...
I use Sansa mp3, 8g, love it.
Small, and has a USER replaceable battery if ever needed.

I use the Nano myself, so I'm not all that familiar with the Shuffle, but I thought it had a built in clip mechanism for attaching it to a colar, lapel, waist ban, etc. If you need accessories, I found the site for Hand Held Items to be useful.

Yes, I love mine. I put it where the MP cannot see it and run the wires all stealth. Sometimes JB doesn't know and I pretend I am listening to him.

I saw one guy in a SFVBC ride with the shuffle attached to his helmet in one of the vents. I thought that was a neat idea. Dorky. But neat.

I have a nike arm band for my nano (which has better sound than shuffle).
It would be relatively easy to glue a piece of wire to helmet's back where you could clip the shuffle, wait
scratch that.. velcro!

Awesome, thanks for suggestions everyone. Ordered the shuffle yesterday. Can't wait until it arrives, so I don't have to chug my bulky ipod in the back pocket.

Haven't tried them yet, but have a pair on order to use with my Blackberry Pearl.

I just keep it in my back pocket and run the wire up under the back of my jersey. Once in a while, I have to fiddle with it, if i want to skip a song.

I'm a compulsive skipper. Even when I've taken the time to carefully pick every song for a particular ride, I end up skip-skip-skipping* to the song I want to hear right that minute, dangit!
*No Joy, that is not an opportunity to photoshop me skipping like a little girl.

I use mine all the time, but mostly when I'm climbing/doing repeats on Gibraltar. I use the new shuffle (love the small footprint) and I just put it inside a sandwich bag to keep sweat/moisture out and slip it into my back pocket. Seems to work fine.
I was out today and it was drizzling intermittently and the sandwich bag kept it nice and dry. It makes training SOOO much more pleasurable. - gene r
