Got my iPod shuffle working

Not sure if this is helpful to anyone, but I wanted to share a tutorial that works for me.  I was able to get my iPod shuffle (the small .55 ounce clip one) working beautifully with Arch Linux.

From the article:

I wanted a setup where I plug the iPod into the computer and it automounts it. I want a simple GUI that allows me to easily manage the files on the iPod. It should be able to convert other formats into mp3 files. It should have playlist support to make it easy to swap preset music selections in and out. And when I'm all done, the iPod should automatically unmount so that I can unplug it. Basically, I need this to be a no-hassle, quick-and-easy, GUI solution.

Here's how I did it.
