ejecting ipod shuffle

[Tony]

I have also had this problem.  I will give this a try.

Another problem I have been having with my iPod Shuffle (using Breezy and
gnupod 0.98-3):

I have had an instance using gnupod, where after adding the mp3s and issuing
the mktunes command, I unmount the iPod,  however I was unable to play
anything.  After trying to delete the songs and reinstall them, still could
not play them.

I then did a clean install of Apple's iPod software (on a Mac) and then
tried again, using gnupod as instructed in the manual.  The first time I
tried, it was successful and played the mp3s fine.  However, later after
deleting old mp3s and adding new mp3s, I again was not able to play
anything.  I anyone else having this problem?
