Hi Richard, This, and your earlier description about MS DOS fat 32 format for the shuffle, all sound correct. Under terminal you probably want to use commands like cd to change to different directories.
You can copy a directory or file name from finder with command+c and paste it into terminal with command+v. So, for example, if you locate the Shuffle directory under finder, and copy it, you can then go to terminal and type cd followed by a space, and paste in the copied location with command+v. Then when you hit return, under terminal you will be in the Shuffle directory. Executing the ls command from the terminal will list files in that directory. You can also make subdirectories under terminal with the mkdir command. So if you wanted to created sub-directories named 001 002 and 003 (for example). You would type mkdir 001 Then you could move files into 001 under finder. You may have to re-search for the device under finder, or move up a directory and then down again in finder to see new entries that you create or move into these directories. Finder does not update the information if you are already in the directory -- you must move out of it and in again to refresh. >From terminal, you can navigate to the new directory by typing cd 001 If you have moved files to it using Finder, typing the ls command should list these. To move back up to the parent directory from terminal, type; cd ../ (that is, two periods followed by a slash mark with no spaces). Hope this gets you started. I think you can name your subdirectories like 001-podcasts and 002-music, etc. Then order the sound files in the subdirectories: 01 My Album with files 01_Song 1, etc. Cheers, Esther On Sunday, April 30, 2006, Richard Most <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Hi all I found the files using terminal and doing ls -a. > >Richard Most
