+Forked from the [shuffle-db-ng project](https://code.google.com/p/shuffle-db-ng/)
+
+Just put your audio files into the mass storage of your IPod and shuffle.py will do the rest
+```bash
+$ python shuffle.py -h
+usage: shuffle.py [-h] [--disable-voiceover] path
+
+positional arguments:
+  path
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
+  --disable-voiceover
+```
+
+### Additions to the original
+* Option to disable voiceover
+* Initialize the IPod Directory tree
