iPod Shuffle shows up in finder, but Apple Music (macOS 15.5 Sequoia) does not detect the device when attached to MacBook Pro, Apple M3 Max. Made multiple attempts to reboot/restart/restore but device seems stuck in restore mode with rolling scroll bar and iPod indicator light flashing yellow/orange.

If Finder doesn't see your ipod, check this Apple article (which is referred to in the first article: If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
For anyone reading this who uses Windows, Apple Music is two things:
