@atpfm I won’t defend the gum pack Shuffle, but it was great for one use case: as the electronic heart of the waterproof H2Audio https://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/h2o-audio-interval-waterproof-headphone-system-for-ipod-shuffle-3g

I got the iPod at a fire sale for really cheap (it didn't seem to sell well), the multi-click controls matched to the problem space. I remember listening to the first ATP shows on this - syncing iTunes to it and the iPhone so I could continue where I left off.
