According to Apple, Windows users must have SP 2 to use the iPs. Has anyone managed to test one on Windows XP SP1?
Got a tip for us?

I THINK it just says that it is SP2 compatible (a LOT of programs got screwed up with SP2)... I could be wrong, though.
Why would you want to use something other than iTunes to sync an iPod? iTunes is easily the best music management software available!

Well, I'm certainly not trying to make this a WinXP SP2 discussion forum
,but you might check this out before installing SP2...

I expected it to work as a flash drive. And it does however it will treat the files as data not music. For me at least it's much quicker to just select a few files on my hard drive, right click and send to the Ipod shuttle.
I was under the impresion that no software was required at all. I read a poor review on a blog site.
Maybe the iPod shuffle Dock will work this way. Anyone know happen to know?
Anything you put on as a file, will be seen only as a file. You need iTunes (or another program, like ehphod) to transfer listenable music on it. It's kind-of a package deal.BugMeNot said:
I'm not sure what review you read, but it's right there on Apple's site.
