Bug fixes for iPod shuffle

We downloaded iPod Software Update 2005-09-23 and installed it on our PowerBook. Then, we plugged our iPod shuffle into our PowerBook and we updated it with the new v1.1.2 software. Afterwards, we updated our iPod shuffle's songs and podcasts using iTune 5.0.1. Both songs and podcasts played fine. [Bill Fox]
