It doesn't look like there's a Shuffle alternative for the Mac. For those who "broke" their Sansa by plugging it into their Mac, <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2hzqu8" rel="nofollow">there is a way to fix that</a>. Still, I wish I would have risked it when it was only $35. I read on the SanDisk site (and on the Best Buy site) that both the 1Gb and 2Gb models of the Sansa Clip are PC only.

I read that the other Sansa models were compatible with Mac. Plus I did some research and there were people who got their Sansa clip working with OSX. Some guys broke their Sansa plugging it into their Mac. Bummer? Fine don't risk it. AND I sent you the link as a great gift idea for your girlfriend/loved ones--for only 35 bucks. Now they jacked up the price... Oh really? I read that the other Sansa models were compatible with Mac. Plus I did some research and there were people who got their Sansa clip working with OSX.

Did you not read what I just wrote?

Since I’m a Mac user, that Sansa Clip is out.

Seriously, Phuoc, give me an alternative that I can use on a Mac and I’m all for buying it from a crappy place like Best Buy.

It's a nice way to start a day like Thanksgiving. I actually did have my headphones threaded down my shirt. The front, not the back, but either way it was that spot right near the iPod itself where the slack of the cord falls, so that probably wouldn't have made a difference. It's the clip. It isn't as tight as it should be and it creeps up until the Shuffle's just barely clipped in place. That's probably what happened and I just didn't check. I've been running for years with some kind of music device and I've never had a problem like this. Since I'm a Mac user, that Sansa Clip is out. That's too bad because it looks like a good replacement. <strong>J.D.</strong>, I'm lucky enough to have an iPhone, so I pretty much have an iPod Touch. And I would never, ever, ever bring that out on a run. But yeah, it's too cool. Fun to scan through your music looking at the album covers. Still, not quite easy enough to operate while running. That's what I like about the Shuffle. Damian, glad to read that you ran! It’s a nice way to start a day like Thanksgiving. I actually did have my headphones threaded down my shirt.
