    Hello AJ94599,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

    It sounds like you want to use the iPod shuffle with Home Sharing.

    As you stated, Home Sharing requires iOS 4.3.

    The current version of the Operating System for the iPod Shuffle 1.0.2. You can verify this in iTunes, and this article will help you find the version number of your iPod Shuffle:

    1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Launch iTunes, connect your device, and wait until it appears under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window.
    3. Select the device under Devices.
    4. View the software version in the Summary tab or Settings tab, depending on the device:
