GTK pod cannot sync with ipod

[sjoeboo]

umm, i;m not tooo sure about that. i have a 6g mini and its vfat (never 
formated it or anything) it works fine with windows, ubuntu, and osx 
10.4. I doubt they would make it HFS, cause then windows would have 
issues seeing it without some special drivers too. i THINK they still 
make mac and windows versions, and this would probibly be the big 
diffrence. I could be wrong though.
