I've got an IPod Shuffle which comes with Itunes software. This software is
only supported for Win XP of Win 2k but my OS is Windows ME. Short of
changing my OS to one of those, anybody know of a way around this ?

In theory you can use your iPod with Windows Me:

But not the iPod software itself.

You should check out XPlay (formerly known as XPod).
http://www.mediafour.com/products/xpod

"Cross-platform computing is what Mediafour does best, so we're readying an
affordable new software package
called XPlay. XPlay enables iPod owners using Windows Me, 98SE, 2000 and XP
to use the iPod for cross-platform file transfer, play their iPod songs
under Windows, and transfer their PC-based MP3 collections to the iPod for
on-the-go listening. A public preview is now available. All you need is an
iPod and a Windows Me, 98SE, 2000 or XP computer with a FireWire port."

Hope this helps.
