Question
is it considered to be shirk or kufr or both if you give someone something and they use it to listen to things that contain shirk or kufr and you know they are
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
This is not considered kufr or shirk, unless a person helps someone commit disbelief while admiring it or loving the act of kufr itself. Otherwise, the action is a sin.
As-Shihab Al-Khifāji 
states in his commentary on al-Bayḍāwī’s tafsīr: “Merely being pleased with an act of disbelief while detesting it does not make one a disbeliever. It only becomes kufr if a person actually admires or approves of the disbelief. Allah the Exalted, relates the words of Mūsā (which means): “...And harden their hearts so that they will not believe...” His intention was asking for their punishment to be increased”. [End quote]
Allah knows best.
