Hi Rick
Ok, I'll take the plunge and, uck! install itunes!
I'd really rather not but if it's the only way to make it work then that's
what I'll have to do I guess.

Chris,
I had exactly the same problem. For some reason, it didn't start working
until I installed Itunes. Once Itunes saw the shuffle, I was able to close
Itunes and AnnaPod Explorer was able to connect to the Shuffle. Not sure why
this is, but this is what worked for me.

Subject: Anapod Explorer and the iPod shuffle
Hi folks
I just recently got myself an iPod shuffle. If you don't know what one of
these little beauties is, where've ya been?
check out http://www.ipod.com and go to the iPod shuffle link. Ok with all
that out of the way, here's the situation. For a while now a lot of people
have said that the better program to use to transfer songs to your iPod is
Anapod explorer, located at http://www.anapod.com It gives the process of
transfering songs a windows explorer type of interface, and I'm definitely
for that. I didn't and in its current state, won't ever install iTunes.
So I got everything set up. I hooked the iPod up to my computer's USB port
and just as it should, Windows XP recognizes the iPod as a drive, it's drive
g in case anyone is interested. You're supposed to make sure you can do this
before you get started with Anapod Explorer. Ok, so i did that. i then went
and downloaded and installed the newest version of Anapod explorer, I got
the trial version and right now I'm glad I did because as I write this I'm
still not able to use it much.
They tell you to connect your iPod to the computer via USB. Then, you're
supposed to go to the system tray and right click on the Anapod manager
icon, and choose the connect iPod shuffle option. When I do this I get an
error message saying that Anapod couldn't find any windows iPods, even
though Windows can see it as a drive. It suggests running the updater and
restoring the iPod to its factory defaults, which i did.
Every time I try to access the shuffle in this way I get this error message.
I'm wondering if anyone else who uses this software has had a similar error
message, and if so, how'd you get around it? also, are there any other
accessible programs for transfering songs to and from your iPod?
I'd really love to actually use the thing I paid so much for.
Thanks.
