Shuffler is the latest accessory designed to ease the transfer of music from your computer to your iPod shuffle.

This new automated file management device offers a number of innovative variations on Martin Fiedler’s successful iPod shuffle Database Builder released earlier this month.

The main difference is that Shuffler is designed principally for use with Windows and functions as an external hard drive on your computer.

It handles the automating of the file transfer itself and instantly arranges files whenever you plug in your iPod shuffle.

As with the Database Builder, Shuffler allows owners to operate their Apple mp3 players in much the same way as most regular drag-and-drop flash-based digital music devices, enabling the effortless copying of music files onto the iPod shuffle from a multitude of computers.

Both offerings present owners with far greater music transfer options, ease of use and music file accessibility.
