There where two different versions of the 2nd gen shuffles, so the second one was 
called the 3rd generation by libgpod, apple may of done the same for a time. 
But the point is what libgpod calls 2nd and 3rd generation are the same thing 
so libgopd's 4th is really apple's 3rd, apples 4th isn't actually listed but 
there is no difference between the file format of the 3rd and 4th gen shuffles 
(apple nameing) so it doesn't really matter they aren't distinguished.
