ipod capacity

What is "other" on my shuffle that is using so much space? I have only used it with i-tunes, not data.

Other consists of album artwork, the iPod's software, and files that cannot be categorized elsewhere such as corrupted files leftover from failed sync operations with iTunes. Obviously the artwork doesn't apply in this situation since you own an iPod Shuffle, so at this point, we can probably assume that this Other content is corrupted files.


In order to reduce the size of other, you'll need to restore the iPod Shuffle to factory settings in iTunes.
