I LOVE SONGBIRD, but it wouldn’t recognize my iPod Shuffle. I use this one to workout and need hopping tunes to keep my miles time down. If you have an iPod that refuses to be recognized here is the fix:

  1. Connect iPod
  2. Open terminal
  3. cd /Volumes/$IPOD_NAME where IPOD_NAME is obviously the name of your iPod visible on the desktop
  4. rm -rf /Volumes/$IPOD_NAME/iPod_Control
  5. Restart Songbird

Done!
