This issue must have been discussed ad nauseam on this forum. Still, if there's a thread, and there must be, I simply can't find it. So I ask your forgiveness in advance.

So here goes...

It's easy enough to work with an iPod/iPhone/iPad (or several) using iTunes on a computer.

But does anyone know of a way to transfer content (eg an mp3) from an iPod Touch 4 to an iPod Shuffle 4 without a computer?

I'm asking because when I'm away from home, I'd like to use iTunes on the Touch (with its 64G of memory) to transfer content to the Shuffle which has much less storage.

I read somewhere that you could do so by connecting both devices to a USB hub, but I checked with Apple Care today and was told "no way," you'd still need a computer.

If this approach won't work, is there any other that would? Bluetooth maybe?

Thanks.

I was about to suggest Dropbox or some other cloud-based service, but then I realized that with the Shuffle, you're out of luck. There's no way to manage music on a Shuffle without a computer.

As Steve has said: No, unfortunately.
