I have been trying to transfer music to my IPOD Shuffle. Used to use it for swimming but haven't used it much in the last 2 years. Now I can't seem to use it at all? Any suggestions? Is there any program out there to transfer music too that doesn't cost too much? Or do I need one at all?
Thanks
Joel
SO it didn't work. None of the music I have collected over the years, downloaded from CD's or downloaded from iTunes was able to be used to transfer to the iPod. It looks like Apple has made my decision easy.

On Big Sur, as mentioned above you need to use the Finder, not the Music App.
Open Finder, and the Shuffle should appear as a device on the left side pane. Click on it, and a familiar iTunes interface will appear where you can sync content to the iPod shuffle.
See here for specifics: link-> Use the Finder to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support
Never mind. I clicked on the wrong iPod link. I think this will work.
Why not? As I said syncing has not changed. All music included in your library on your PC that does not come from the Apple Music subscription service should be transferrable to the iPod shuffle.
I can sync my music to an iPod Classic from 2005 just fine still. Apple has not changed anything.
If you explain what the error was or what happened when you tried to sync maybe we can help you resolve it.
This is what It looks like when I click on my Shuffle. Doesn't look at all like what iTunes used to
iTunes on macOS Mojave or earlier and Windows and Finder on macOS Catalina or later, still support the IPod shuffle just fine.
What issue are you having exactly?
I can't use Music to transfer files to the iPod Shuffle, when I do, the Shuffle says I need to connect to iTunes to transfer music to the iPod shuffle. I don't have iTunes because i'm on Big Sur.
Looks like you clicked on an external drive that is named similar to the iPod. Your iPod is the one 2 positions up.
Glad it worked out.
Can we still use IPOD Shuffle's?
