5 out of 5 starsWow! This project still works on Windows 10. Just used it to resurrect a very old (but still alive) iPod Shuffle!

5 out of 5 starsHave been using this on my iPod Shuffle 2G for years! Simple, and allowed me to cut the iTunes cord!

5 out of 5 starsThis worked great! Running Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04, Banshee would copy files over to the Shuffle, but they wouldn't play. My Shuffle would just flash the alternating green and amber LED. I even tried using iTunes to reload the device. A few times. After copying my music ove with Banshee, I used this Python script as it recommended. After that, all of my files played flawlessly. Thanks to the author!
