It has been known through iLounge than versions 8.1 and 8.1.1 of iTunes have not been able to work in optimal conditions, since the users of the iPod Shuffle first and second generation have complained several problems, one of which we speak has its basis in that iTunes creates duplicate files in the event that an existing file in the iPod Shuffle it is "pulled" for synchronization.
On the other hand, and as a second problem, podcast They are not located at the beginning of the playlist, instead, they are placed in alphabetical order in the same way as if it were a song, and the same happens with the podcast that were already heard and that were erased from iTunesThey are not removed from the iPod Shuffle.
The third problem is that the iTunes computer does not allow you to play songs already transferred to the iPodwhen the iPod is connected to computer. Mac OS y Microsoft Windows are the two OS who are affected and are body of these inconveniences.
Many believe with their own experience that the best way to remedy these deficits is to do a complete restoration of the iPod Shuffle helped by iTunesHowever, there are still many with problem latent.
