I can't see my ipod shuffle using WMP XP pro latest updates/srvs pcks, device
is seen using itunes, do I need a plug in for WMP?
so far the apple site says the entire itunes software is the plug for WMP,
Huh?
I need some direction on this.

Translation :

You need to use iTunes.

Thanks for the tip. How do I handle trying to get multiple cd audio book, to
save to the shuffle? iTunes doesn't see more than one cd, ( of which an audio
book can span several) the track names are the same in each CD.
one idea I had was to create multiple folders on the shuffle, each
containing an entire cd's worth of audio files, but since I'm not all that
familiar with the shuffle, how would I get from one folder to another, when
I'm trying to listen to the book.

My two cents (Euro) :

You'll need to rip the CD's as mp3 files or aac files.

So rip CD then use a tag editor in iTunes for example for aac files or this
for mp3's http://www.id3-tagit.de/ and name as follows :

AlbumTag = 01 > track n° 01, 02, 03 etc
Album Tag = 02 > track n° 01, 02, 03 etc

Should work as each tag will be slightly different.

Hope thats clear,

Cheers,
Jerry

Many thanks, I just checked back to this link and will try the software.
I got a different mp4 player 8 gig as the shuffle was way smaller, and yes I
can load audio tracks to the player but it's complicated, maybe this software
will make it easier.
 
I found I can rename files on the player using windows explorer, but the
thing is not allowing me access to the files to play them.
I get the main menu and when I try to select something on the main menu
ie music, I never get the subfolder, I always get shunted to the player
trying to record an audio file. I have at one point recorded and managed to
listen to an audio book, now for some reason it just won't get me where I
need to go.
I think I'm ready to toss it, andget an apple product, at least then I'll
have some support (of some kind)

Don't expect too much support for your Apple product......I can't even email
Apple to complain about the poor contrast and small font size of their
iTunes site. (I have a completely useless iPod sitting here on my computer
desk) They have managed to completely insulate themselves from their
consumer base.
