Manage an iPod Shuffle via the Finder and python
Authored by: Tulse on Apr 07, '05 10:14:37AM
But if iTunes is already open, it still will delete audio files that don't appear on the machine with no warning. This seems like a serious bug since the Shuffle can also be used as a normal flash drive for transferring files to different machines.
I don't actually have a shuffle, so I may be speaking out of turn, but I thought one had to specify how much space on the shuffle was devoted to regular flash drive files, and how much was for music. I would be very surprised if iTunes deleted files in the space specified for flash files (although admittedly one can't listen to any audiofiles in this space).

You are correct, iTunes will not delete files in the "Files" space. It deletes files in the music space. That is why this script is really nice. it allows you to store and organize your music (and data) in the file space and iTunes won't delete it.
