Thanks. When I get home I'll give this a whirl...
Well it's about time the 3G gets shuffle. Maybe this will give me a better price when I ebay it for a new mini.
Woot Woot - shuffle mode on the main menu for my 26 10gb iPod - thank you! Just have to wait before i can install it!
Do any of you 3G owners notice that the last few updates take down the contrast a lot after the update?
It seems as if this update has solved that problem.
There's also some new graphics on the 3Gs.

Maybe they feel there's now enough of a feature gap between the older generations and the new ones, that they can include this software update and not discourage people from upgrading to new ones.

That explains why the display looks so much better!
I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't actually noticed, although I had noticed in the car lately I was having more trouble seeing it. After today's update I could have sworn the screen looked better. That explains it.

By updating the older iPods, Apple will have a *much* larger consumer base for its new photo-import device.
I just put v1.5 on my 2G 10Gb iPod, and as well as the "Music" and "Shuffle songs" menu items, it seems to have added the ability to customize the main menu, and added an "Audiobook" item to the Music list which seems to pick up all my podcasts (which I convert to bookmarkable AAC).
Yay!
Yay!
i'm so pleased with this update. it is cool to finally have the shuffle songs thingy!!!
however, its not good that my 3G is looking like it is packing it in today
the battery ran out from full in 10 mins today
and hold just magically stopped working and now it is all 'floppy' - any ideas?

FYI, I noticed after I updated my iPod Shuffle, it now pauses when the headphones are disconnected (like the 4G iPod).
yes they do feel snapier.. i did a restore though lol.. its weird cuz it told me to disconnect it and plug it into the wall in order to to a "software rehash" or something... weird.. ne my 3g works GREAT. again though the eq's don't seem as powerful.. or maybe its just me.
In case this wasn't noticed... With the new iPod Shuffle firmware it shows up as an ipod shuffle picture on the desktop when it is mounted (before it showed up as a generic mounted drive). It's trivial but it makes me happy. Mmmmm eye candy.

i do beleive they have impreved the sound quality, particuarly in eq's. before, on the rock setting the lowest bass would start to pop my shure ec2's (which isnt right as they have a very big range). anyway they dont now. also i think going from one track to the next is quicker. all in all a good update!!!
Not to get your hopes up, but I don't think that this update will increase the battery life of the old iPod mini's. I think only the minis released today have longer battery life because of a redesign, just like when the regular 4G iPod came out with better battery life than the 3G....

Edit: Yes, was at 1.2... maybe this will bring better battery life to my aging mini (one year old in a few days)...

It is a 3G 10GB iPod
I am running 10.3.8.
Please help.
Was that iPod originally formatted with Windows? I ask because I notice the the name of the iPod in the screenshot is in all CAPS. If it was, that might have something to do with it; i'm not sure.
