Hi. I have been doing some research on database rebuilders for
the iPod shuffle. So far the only database rebuilder I have found
requires a normal computer to make it work. I am trying to use
the iPod shuffle without iTunes. I also have been doing research
on the iPod shuffle and I have found out that you can't just copy
songs on to it and expect them to play. I have a special computer
called a BrailleNote Apex that is made by Humanware that I use
because I am completely blind. I also have an iPod shuffle that
is 4 gb and it is the rectangle one with the controls on the
headset instead of buttons on the iPod. Humanware is the only
company that can wright software to run on my BrailleNote. I
can't use any external programs. That means that for me iTunes is
out of the question. It can not be done. It also means that I
can't tell my iPod to launch the database rebuilder. When I hook
my iPod shuffle up to my BrailleNote it comes up like any of the
other usb drives I hook up to it. I can transfer files on and off
of it but I can't get in to change any settings on the iPod. All
I can do is put files on and off and if needed I can make folders
and sub folders. Is there a way for me to make my iPod work under
these limitations? If not, Then is there a database builder that
can be launched from the iPod without having to start it from a
computer? What I mean is a program that I can copy on to my iPod
and then unhook my iPod from my BrailleNote and turn on my iPod
and have the program automatically start itself? If such a
program does not exist, Then is there a sub folder I could copy
the songs in to to make them play. Or is there a way to manually
make my own database? Or is there a way to make this work that I
am just not thinking about? I just have my BrailleNote and no
other computers to work with here. Thanks in advance for any
and all help.
