ah, I see I wasn't the only one to notice the major suckiness of the Windows based iTunes VO. 🙂

I am apparently one of the freaks who doesn't replace their stock ear buds. They don't fall out of my ears, and I find the sound quality to be perfectly adequate.

As for the new Shuffle, I find the addition of playlists to be a major improvement; I hated having all my music jumbled together on the 2G, even if I liked the unit overall. The new controls seem fine as well, if not necessarily a step up or down from the last generation.

For people who don't like the new ones, could Apple just release an upgrade to add playlists to the 2G? Seems like a sensible move to me.
