Make sure you put it the "Library" folder in your home directory, not the "Library" folder at the root of your hard disk. I'm not sure why you'd get a file permission error when running the script. If you run the script from within ScriptEditor, it might tell you which line of the script is causing the file permission error. As far as not deleting everything on your shuffle first: the first script on this page doesn't delete everything, it just copies the tracks from one playlist to your shuffle. The second script does delete everything, but you can fix that by removing the 4 lines below the line "-- delete all tracks form the shuffle".

The second script does delete everything, but you can fix that by removing the 4 lines below the line “– delete all tracks form the shuffle”.

How do I get it to just add the podcasts, but keep all the existing files on my shuffle? ok I think I got it to work from the desktop as long as itunes is closed even though it still gives me a file permission error, but it deleted all the files I had on my shuffle.
