   For kicks I plugged my iPod Shuffle into the Ubuntu box. It comes up with   
   'Contains music' and a button for RythmBox. I can play the songs and there   
   is an option to copy or delete but I can't copy to it.   
      
   My boss handed them out at Christmas one year and the only way I could get   
   music onto it was the iTunes app on Windows. What a piece of crap that   
   was.
