In case you are using iPod Nano 5th generation and you come across a similar situation then you can go through the tutorial on restoring videos from iPod 5g. Virus Infection: There are situations, in which you may connect your iPod Shuffle to the virus infected system. This might even infect your other attached devices.
Hence, your iPod Shuffle may get infected by virus, making your music inaccessible or unplayable. Abrupt Removal: At times, you may abruptly remove your iPod Shuffle without ejecting it safely. In urgency, you may just pull the iPod from your computer. At times, there are chances of loosing music on Mac as well. In such cases it would become difficult to recover lost iTunes music after computer crash.
Formatting iPod Shuffle: Sometimes when you connect iPod Shuffle to your computer, due to some unknown reasons your computer might not recognize your iPod Shuffle.
In case you receive such messages, you will have to format your iPod forcefully thus, you lose your songs. I use it only when I have to update my iPhone or put some music on my iPod, but I try to use it as little as possible. None of the updates to it ever seem to make it more usable; it's a clunky, slow piece of software with an unresponsive interface. That aside, I wanted to find a way to use my iPod shuffle without iTunes; I wanted to be able to put music on it without having to use my iTunes library.
As it turns out, there is a really simple, awesome application that allows you to do this - iShuffle :. When you run the application, it looks at the music in your Music folder and creates the appropriate play lists on the iPod Shuffle. You will have to run this little app every time you update the music on the iPod Shuffle. I used my iPod Shuffle for the first time in a while last night and I had this up and running in seconds.
I still don't get what you hate about iTunes. It is awesome! I never experience it being clunky. Maybe it is because you are on Vista Have you checked out the genius feature? I didn't think it would be any use but it has reminded me about all the other music i have on my machine.
I am on XP now home slice The scrolling feels very heavy and non-responsive. Plus, clicking in the application only take effect if the application is "focused" first, which often requires tripple clicking.
You may ask yourself, "but how could this be an issue? You know that you can set itunes to be the mini player and always be on top, right? Ha ha ha : Who knows. My mom keeps trying to get me to move to mac so I can teacher her how to use it. I can create my playlists, set up my iPod to "autofill" based on the criteria I set I have it set up to not play any songs I've listened to in the last two weeks so I can get a nice mix of my playlist.
Seconded on iTunes. I hate it. My favorite "feature" for the Shuffle? The fact that iTunes won't let you add music to it from a second computer. Load it up at home and when you get to work you have 2 options: erase and start over, or pretend it's not plugged in.
I thought my iTunes was broken until I went into an Apple store and asked -- it's intentional. Lately, however, I have been using Pandora. Of course, it begs the question - if it was easier to listen to my mp3s, would I do it more probably. Word up to that - I had to erase my Shuffle on the new computer. At least now I can use it independently of the computer. WinAMP software has it built in. It's super simple. You just select a song or songs , right click on them, and select "send to Ben's Mom's iPod".
WinAMP was my player of choice for years. Maybe I'll just move back there. I love that fact that it's really a file-based player, rather than a library based player. Yes, it does have a library, but it feels much more lightweight than the iTunes library. Of course, I think for AudioBooks and Video transfer, the iTunes just keeps things a bit more organized for the file transfer.
I guess it's been a while. I haven't had an issue yet. Not sure why Mediamonkey supposedly breaks with each firmware update as Rick O. I haven't seen that. When you sync ipod with mediamonkey, make sure you turn on "Ipod folders" - otherwise, iPod won't see the music. Found Mediamonkey and I'm not going back. My program of choice is Floola www. You can put on your iPod and always have with you. It supports all versions of iPod as far as i know, and lets you manage photos and videos as well!
It has an updater built-in and will automatically check for new versions. Give it a try - you won't look back at anything else! What happened to them?!? I never bought into the iPod thing.
I use Coby sticks as an MP3. Low tech and not much status, but they work great. Funny story I read this post on the plane using Google Reader with Gears on my way back from a conference where I was given an iPod Shuffle, my first ever piece of Apple hardware.
I ended up going with MediaMonkey and it seems pretty good so far. Meh :. I recently downloaded MediaMonkey as well based on some comment feedback I've gotten recently. I haven't used it for iPod updates yet, but it seems like a nice app.
I hear you re: the fuss over iPod. The one thing that I liked about it was that it was basically a huge hard drive that that I could port files from home to office and back. But, since I haven't done that much lately, I haven't had much extra use for it. The iPod copy software supports iPod to iTunes transfer. You have to make sure the iShuffle. I fist tried to run it from my Program Files or something and it told me the music folder didn't exist. I want an iPod touch but I'm annoyed that I have to use iTunes to send my mp3's to it.
I have my music organized like I want it and I don't want iTunes messing around with it. I also want to develop applications for it but you can't use the SDK unless you have a Mac which I don't have the cash to buy. I recently won an iPod Shuffle at work. I didn't want iTunes either so I found iShuffle. It most works, but for some reason it doesn't play all the files in the Music folder - I have about tracks in that folder. I get to hear about of those.
Even though some of the files are from the same disc, it will not play all the songs. I even run iShuffle. I havent used my iPod since i had it coz i was kinda feel so lazy to download iTunes..
I use winrar 3. So if you've had iTunes installed, it's compatible, too. How do you organize your songs using ishuffle? I put my songs in the ipod, but once I unplug it, the ishuffle reorders the songs alphabetically? Any ideas how I can keep the songs in the order I want for playback? I am not sure you can control the order other than alphabetically. To be honest, since it's a "shuffle", I never actually tried to order them.
I had people just give me the to the song and the quick search I had set up would find the song faast.. Thanks for that Ben. This works great! I extracted the files from the zip file in a temporary folder on my pc. I only put the "ishuffle. It created a file named "ishuffle. A co-worker of mine won the shuffle at work, but he's not too computer literate. With this executable stored ON the shuffle itself, he would not need to run any separate software!
It's great. I just got an 8 gig ipod touch for free when I bought a macbook pro, and I am about ready to go try to shove it down Jobs' throat. I don't get the point of this. Why do you need software at all? Every mp3 player I've ever owned can just go right into the hard drive and paste in what I want.
It's so simple that way. I hate itunes and refuse to use it, even on the mac. I want direct and full control over what I buy, not Apple and their BS. Thank god I have a friend interested in buying it off of me, because unless I can find a way to paste in my music directly then even for free it's not worth the aggravation.
Is there a way to wipe an ipod and just have a folder tree, a player and the codecs like the old iRivers did? That was the bomb. Guys - I have a problem. After successfully using iShuffle on two other iPod shuffles previously, I am trying to use it on a friend's that had iTunes on it before.
I removed the iTunes folder, and the iTunes setup file from the root. I saved the mp3 files in the Music folder, copied iShuffle. So I created an iTunes folder, and it still gives me the error. Any suggestions? I like the convenience of this neat little app. Or should I try something else that works in a similar way? Ok - Ignore that last entry. I had the iTunes folder in the Root folder Doh! At last.
Kind thanks from someone who completely agrees tha iTunes is crap music tool. Otherwise Apple's is pretty cool. Yeah, I've been loving this tool for my iPod Shuffle. Just keeps things really lightweight. The bad thing is that I have to re-run this every time I plug the shuffle in. The second the iTunes helper app gets involved, it seems to erase the playlist but NOT the music thankfully.
I just got a shuffle. I got ishuffle and followed directions. I do have ishuffle and a music file in the root. Iz a bit confused.
Does this rename your music and place it automatically? I was just thinking that it would be hard to find and delete songs if it did. There's nothing automatic about this; you need to manually copy the music onto the Shuffle and then manually run the app. It doesn't do any renaming, however, it just updates the internal playlist. Hi Ben!! Here comes the role of KeepVid Music that offers free service for downloading, discovering as well as recording music from multiple sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud and many others.

I am not sure which format works best, I suppose aac. Media Monkey media player and J. River Media player also works to transfer music and videos to Apple products like the iPod.
