[ubuntu-uk] ipod

[James Morrissey]

To get the ipod working as an ipod, not just as an external drive, try
GTKPod or try transferring songs through Rhythmbox.

Just a note, when you plug into GTKPod it sets up the device so that it
reads as an iPod. I am not sure what will happen to your data which is
already on it, so you might want to back things up.

Also, last time i checked GTKPod had a problem which meant that it crashed
if files other than music were synced with the ipod. This means you have to
remove all the album artwork from your collection, or sync one album at a
time.
