can anyone help me produce one of these my brain is mush alately and just cant figure the logic out

sorry if this may seem like a really daft question though, but what would i compile it too for it to work on all OS's?

Hey guys, I recently bought myself a cheap knock-off ipod shuffle, so it for a £2 and couldnt resist :P , however I've noticed it doesnt actually shuffle the songs it just plays albums/folders through and then onto the next. This got me thinking I could simulate a the shuffle experience by somehow randomizing the file names and moving all the files to the root of the mp3 player, but so that i would be able to reconize what songs are what when looking at them on a computer have something that will de-randomize the files back to their orignal state. Is there an script that could do this? or if not can anyone recommend a good language i could use that will work on all OS'S? and also could someone help me knock a quick and dirty one togther? Thanks matt

Thanks a lot for this guide and taking the time looking on google, however the guide you provided and looking over the the other documents, they don't work :( as I said in a previous post this must be down to some daft file permissions on it as I'm on 2.1, and after looking through those documents you've provided they seem to back my theory up. It seems that I'm out of luck and may be best to just use the method TomB says, which is just itunes and only use it to use for syncing with ipod and use another music app to listen. Thanks again though, and also sorry to anyone I annoyed.

I know I've probably set my self for a world of flaming, but hey said I was sorry and explained myself, however still think I will get flamed from this point forward :P but I'm strong Well I've tried downloading from web and I can't seem to download any music, so that idea maybe out of the window? As for ssh I can see how that may work, but does anyone know where the folder is for the music and videos? I can't seem to find it anywhere As Swathe's reply I didn't know you could actually turn that service off as, it seemed to be the case in the past with older gen ipod if I turned that off when I come to using my ipod with itunes, it would always fail to find the ipod, or come up with an error. But I will give it a try with the itouch and will let you know. thanks

Okay, well sorry I must admit was hungover the morning I wrote that so my temper was some what limited, and you must see it from my point how that post seems. The usual case of a post like that is some immature fanboy, or someone who has total disregard for topic at hand and 9/10 thats the case, well it is sure the case for me in other forums.( I know welcome to the internet.....yada yada yada). I was just out for some advice. As for the reply I have tried that but itunes noob here is I'm fed up of itunes automatically starting when I attach the ipod, and for some strange reason(the reason I want to get rid of it) even though I close Itunes 5 mins. later its starts back up, which ok 77 mb memory may not be much to some but on a gig and half RAM when your in middle of doing graphic rendering is not good at all... thats where the computer freezing comes from, I just thought I could get rid of it all together and just use something basic such as foobar but obviously not. I do have my Ipod jailbroken but how would I go about doing something like this as I can't figure how to see the ipod music files without actually being on itunes?

Well why don't you use the original Linux or XP Home that was originally intended to run on the eeePC.......IT WORKS!!!!! I Think maybe why you have xp on is it's better suited to your needs? am I correct? I don't want the bloatedness of Itunes, its not suited to my needs, as i would want something as basic and fast as foobar!!!! I don't want all this backing up your ipod, getting genius data(yes i know that can be turend off), or working out gappless play back and when ITUNEs uses 77,120K MEM usage well i want something a bit smaller on the load! Next time you think your posting something that's Helpful think........As that to me is just a mindless excuse to get you post up unless you was trying to be helpful then errr..... thanks <_<

that's one of the programs I have promised i will never go on it

Thanks, I'm actually thinking of just grabbing my old g4 mac mini out of the loft to do it but have no sockets so that's means unplugging my computer to plug mac in ¬_¬ which by the time it takes me to do that i may as well have waited for itunes to load so its a bugger really lol

hmm I'd think that may be waaay over complicating things, it wouldn't be so bad but i'm using touch 2.1 :( which is stopping the file browser that use to work.

arghhhhh me harties alass th yami she not work with the ipod touch (thats my pirate talk over) but yeah Yamipod seems to be incompatible with ipod touch will try others and let you know

do these work with Ipod touch? I would try them now but I'm at work so sadly can't :(

that's it fed up with itunes its using too much of my resources, slowing my machine down to the point cursor stops moving sad.gif so what I'm asking is there alternatives I can use to do the following tasks. A - Grab latest vidcasts and put them on, does not have to be vidcasts from itunes store or itune specific I don't mind go fetching the rss feeds. B - the most important one allow me to transfer music across. that's it really rest can do manually on the ipodtouch thanks for you help matt

Hey guys, At working I have a Virtual Server image Mapped to a Portable HD which I take around diffrent machines and install a copy onto that host machine, however with doing this I alway have to start the Image up on each machine and configure the Ip and computer name of each one so I do not get any conflicts, which can be very impractical for me. What I'm asking is, is there anyway of getting the virtual pc to easily and quickly find the machine name that it's hosted on? as then i could set up a script that will automatically assign the right IP and Computer Name. I know I could achive this by using loopbacks but the setting up of a loopback, I mayt as well just configure the IP and Name Manually thanks for the time Matt
