I'd look for something that goes in a 3 byte field or maybe something in
iTunesDB.pm uses only 24 bit where it should use 32 bit. Maybe some sub
that is used for the ipod shuffle's iTunesSD (most structures there 
are 3 byte long) gets reused for the the iTunesDB.

I'll try to take a look at your iTunesDB files tomorrow but I don't know if
I'll really have the time.
