Hello Henrik,

Do you want me to load a 130 firmware and send you the iTunesSD?

That would be great. Could you find out when that firmware was released?
Well here it is.
I loaded the 130 firmware and loaded with iTunes the 9 songs I sent earlier.
In general I'd like to get the oldest firmware on it that you possibly can.
Did any software come with the shuffle? Maybe a it contains a reset utility
that contains old firmware?
It is the oldest I could find. There are the 130, 131 and 133 versions
around.
The 2nd gen ipod shuffle doesn't come with the reset utility, I had one
with the 1st gen shuffle.
The files inside the iPod_130.1.0.3.ipsw date from 06-14-07 02:06

The 131-version seems to be identical
And the 133-version dates from  02-26-08 04:10

I've found some comment in a forum in late 2006: http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=181616
When I updated my 1G shuffle, the computer said the firmware was for some
bug fixes and volume control, though I've noticed no difference in the
shuffle's operation.

If that firmware FIXED the shuffle's behavior to what we see today, and it didn't change from one vaild behavior (the one from 1g shuffle) to another (todays), then we might simply solve the issue by adding new model strings to gnupod and change the behavior of mktunes accordingly.

Does apple publish something like a changelog for their firmware updates?
Nope,
All it show is
• Enhanced support for 2 GB models
• Bug fixes

Btw I used the www.blinkenlights.ch firmware instruction
I wrote the firmware to a not existing device node: /dev/sdb1
Writing to it made the device visible and I has able to read the (same)
firmware from it.
But otherwise the device node is invisible and can't be mounted.
I checked with fdisk what kind of disk it is but it's very confused
about it:
        This doesn't look like a partition table
        Probably you selected the wrong device.



        Chris
