Use Your iPod shuffle without Using iTunes
You’ll have to have a fairly recent
installation of Python running on OS X for it to work, but if you have wished that you could simply drag your MP3s over
to your iPod shuffle without having to launch iTunes, then
iPod shuffle Database Builder is for you.
An added benefit of using this tool is that it enables you to use the iPod shuffle on as many computers as you like
without having to pair it again and again to a new iTunes Music Library. Even better, the program is only 8k and will
work on any OS with Python installed, so there’s no reason not to put a copy on the iPod shuffle itself.

"permission denied"
w/ root enabled.
Not really sure what to do to fix this.
Nor do I know how this would effect the space on the drive. All this script does is shuffle the contents of the "free" area (the area on a shuffle you've allocated to disk use) and the invisible music directory on the ipod.
