The shuffle has been forgiven. • iPod shuffle, 4th generation. It has no screen, so it talks: track names and its own status messages, recorded on your Mac in a voice you pick in Settings. The whole library goes on, or one playlist becomes its list. • Rockbox players sync as MP3 players. Music files are managed as expected. • One converter for every iPod. FLAC, WAV and AIFF become Apple Lossless through the same pipeline the shuffle insisted on. • Cair Engine hears more of the hard ones: it listens further into a song, where the music is, and asks twice before giving up. • Settings, sorted by what you're doing: General, Biblio, Cair. • Getting Started, under Help. The cliff notes, not the manual. Repairs in this update: • The library index reads fast on any Mac, Intel included. • Covers finish what they start. A match you confirm after the run gets its cover too, and the covers bar closes when the last one lands. • Match no longer asks about removals on every sync; you said yes once. • Erase leaves a player's hidden files alone. • An empty destination says so, with a straight face.

Everything you own, in one window. • Biblio — your library as a shelf and as a wall of covers. Play it, build playlists, drop music in and it files itself. Sync one playlist or the whole collection. • Cair — album art and album names, put right. Missing covers, thumbnails and wrong names are looked up across the free music databases; the sure ones fix themselves, the rest wait for one click. Audio is never re-encoded. • Auditoré — a five-band equalizer and gain, live while a track plays. • Podcasts file to the iPod's own Podcasts menu, the way audiobooks do. • A Library Scanning screen while the index reads, so nothing runs on a half-read shelf. • Settings: Prevent Syncopation from Internet Access. It does exactly that. Repairs in this update: • Duplicates clean themselves up. A song that ends up on your iPod or card twice is folded back to a single copy at the start of a sync — no full erase. • exFAT cards behave. A track named with a "?", or in a folder ending in a period or a space, now updates and removes cleanly instead of reporting "couldn't be removed." • A restored iPod is named from its own record, not the last one seen, and an iPod can't be picked as a plain folder by mistake. • After an eject the destination says "Choose…" instead of pointing at a card that's gone, and Erase reports anything it could not remove.
