Apple’s iPod Shuffle is the world’s smallest music player with a height of just 1.8 inches and 0.7 inches wide. It even comes with some ‘impressive’ features such as VoiceOver, which tells you the names of your playlists, so you can easily switch between them to find the right mix for your mood. Despite its sleek look and useful features, it’s one of the ‘worst’ MP3 player ever, according to a study conducted by Which?, a product-testing and campaigning charity. The UK-based magazine, which has over 520,000 readers, ranks the iPod Shuffle at the bottom of the list of nine players tested, after scoring a mere 51 out of a possible 100 points.
“Finding your way around the iPod Shuffle is a challenge”, the review said, which also marked it down for its lack of FM radio, voice recorder, lack of screen and the inability for the user to choose the order of the songs.
Other larger versions of the iPod line didn’t fare well too in the test. The iPod Classic scored 70 points, and the iPod Touch was beaten by lesser known competitors such as Archos 7 Internet Tablet and the Creative Zen X-Fi.
