Just bought a Shuffle for my girl. Problem is her computer is running Windows ME and it says that Itunes only runs on Windows 2000 or XP. So I can't set up the default music manager for the Shuffle. Since the Shuffle is essentially a a flash memory stick shouldn't I just be able to add songs to the flash drive as if the songs were regular files? I tried this and they show up as being on the player, but then the Shuffle does not play them. Any suggestions on how we can use this damn thing w/o Itunes? What am I doing wrong?
You can try Anapod Explorer, I use it cause I HATE I-TUNES!!!! http://www.freedownloads.be/downloaddetail/537 It works with Windows ME
No. The music needs to be in a very specific place. If you feel like hacking, the directory tree (with one song) can be seen here: http://www.webservertalk.com/message874962.html My inclination is that you cannot just drop your music into the directory structure, the propietary playlists need to be dinked. A used iMac G3 on eBay goes for roughly the same price as the shuffle. Perhaps you should get her one of those, and avoid the hassles!
