["G. McFarlane" <gmcf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Going one step further:

I find that if I put my Ipod Shuffle into a different PC (using Itunes and 
scripts in both) I get the message asking if I want to link with the new 
library on the new machine. If I say 'yes' then I lose all the files 
contained on the Shuffle. If I say 'no' then the Shuffle does not appear on 
the Source list. Can this be avoided? Surely there's a way in Itunes of 
retaining and adding to the files on the Shuffle?
