Does it require any special drivers, etc. (or, does it just look
like a "mass storage device")?
I like the Shuffle because I can plug it into damn near any
computer and just drag files onto it (like a disk). I have
a tiny little application that rebuilds the "control files"
on it so that the Shuffle knows what to play, etc.
This is a win as I can almost always find a computer that
I can do this with (regardless of whether or not iTunes is
installed, etc.). I probably should recompile the code
for Mac's as well -- though I find so few of them that
it might just be a waste of a few KB :-/
Unfortunately, for a larger iPod, my naive playlist tool
would be a pain in the *ss since it doesn't give you any
control over what gets played and the order thereof. (hence
the reason for writing a better app to do this).
Thx,
