Even iPods get the blues.
Earlier today, Apple released
iPod Reset Utility 1.03 for the iPod shuffle. It's meant to be used with both a 1st and 2nd generation iPod shuffle when iTunes is unable to restore it to factory settings. Note that this sucker wipes your iPod clean -- all music, photos, etc. will be cleared away, so make sure you've got backups in place. You can read all the details
here.

I tried this utility to un-(brick?)/stub? my ipod shuffle 1st gen. but on the first attempt, it said the recovery failed. and on the second try, the Resetting ipod(Recovery mode) - do not disconnect message just stays there indefinitely. I don't think anything's happening.
