iPod shuffle Manager

iPod shuffle Manager allows you to use your iPod shuffle like a regular memory stick If you are a Windows user tired of having to use iTunes to move tracks to your iPod shuffle, try out this small piece of software. It allows you to use your iPod shuffle like a regular memory stick.

You can simply copy your tracks to the iPod shuffle as-is using Windows Explorer (or any other file manager). You may copy files from any computer. Simply run this little utility, which will update the internal database of the iPod shuffle to allow playing the tracks placed on it.

iPod shuffle Manager is something that I have been using myselft since 2005 when I bought my first iPod shuffle. Although there is already a similar program called iPod shuffle Database Builder , I decided to make my software publicly available after receiving some requests to do so. People seem to be interested in the graphical user interface, which is not available in the iPod shuffle Database Builder.

Installation
First, I must warn you that when you use iPod shuffle Manager with your iPod shuffle, you cannot use iTunes to update it. But that is just what you want, isn't it to prevent iTunes from messing up your tracks ever again. Also, note that iPod shuffle Manager works only with iPod shuffle (both first and second generation), not with any other iPod models.

OK, now that you have been warned, follow these steps.
