> I think the decision comes down to the size of your daughter's music collection and how much you want to spend. The Shuffle is very economical if you just want to store a handful of songs (Apple claims 240 songs on the 1 GB Shuffle), but the Shuffle also lacks a screen on it, so you can't choose to hear a specific song while you're listening to it. This may be a deal breaker.

I think I paid $150 for the 1GB Shuffle. I love the little thing. It's the size of a pack of Trident gum. I usually fit 220-224 songs on it at a time. I personally like it because it is fun to use. Every time I want new songs (out of my total list of under 700 songs), I just plug it in and it's automatically uploaded with a new random playlist. People complain about the lack of a screen, but I know my music so well that I don't need to pick out what I want to listen to. I love it compared to the big 15GB I gave (sold cheaply) to my brother.
