I can confirm that my 2nd generation 1GB iPod Shuffle does not work with 64-bit Windows 7 RC Build 7100. Windows 7 recognizes it and iTunes also recognizes it, however, when I go to put music on it, iTunes freezes for a couple minutes then when it becomes usable again it shows nothing on my Shuffle.

But there is a solution until Apple updates the driver. Use the new "Windows XP Mode" feature that is in beta. I am using Windows XP Mode and installed iTunes in it and it seems to be able to sync with my Shuffle fine. Grab the Windows XP Mode beta here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir.../download.aspx

Despite your note that it wouldn't work, I tried to sync my iPod and it worked just fine.

Windows 7 RC x64
iTunes 8.1.1.10 64bit
iPod Shuffle 3rd gen 4GB

No compatibility mode or virtual machines involved.

I'm having the same issue is there a solution other than the virtual XP mode?

Where do you choose to enable disk use?
