ipod and kubuntu

[jack wallen]

here's what i've recently discovered. i managed to get banshee to play
mp3s but amarok still will not. it doesn't seem that banshee can
transfer files to the ipod, just pull them from (or at least that's the
way it seems). am i wrong about this?

i have no idea why amarok is not playing mp3s. well, it seems it's the
engine.

i checked out the RestrictedFormats wiki and did what it said - to no
avail. in fact, after i did that - banshee no longer plays mp3s. argh!
the only tool i have to play mp3s is xmms and that doesn't play well
with ipods at all. drat.
