Well, plugging my gen1 Shuffle into a USB port results in the music manager automatically launching, it doesn't even bother asking. It won't automatically play from the iPod as far as I can tell, I have to drag and drop each "playlist" (Music Manager sees each artist as a separate playlist, I couldn't grab just Playlist and drag it over), but it plays fine once the list is generated, without having to copy the music over. Not that there's a huge advantage to this, although it lets you charge the iPod at least, also giving you so-so speakers if you want.
In other semi-related news (as in, pocketbook-related), I'm going to have to drop $700 to replace my car's tires pretty soon. They're at 5/32" tread depth now, which is not yet at the "replace now" level of 2/32", they're kinda borderline for low profile tires in wet conditions. I decided not to do it today, probably gonna do it next month once I'm sure how my finances have rebounded from buying the EEE.
Edit: Oh, and my Shuffle fits nicely in the Digilegend bag between the charger and the wallet full of memory sticks/cards.
Edit 2: Doing the "click, shift-click" trick to select all elements of the playlist and drag them over as a block works fine. Also, you have to right-click to remove something from your playlist, there doesn't seem to be a menu option for it, nor do backspace or delete remove things. Finally, it can take a while for the EEE to recognize my Shuffle.
Edit 3: Yay, my travel charger arrived in the mail today! As it's bulkier than the charger that came with the EEE, it's going to be my "leave at home" charger. And I now have a collection of weird international plug adaptors I'm unlikely ever to use. ;)
