Hi, I have been trying for some time to achieve the following: I would like to keep my iPod in sync with a 'master' music repository which I keep on a (Linux) server at home. The idea is very simple: whenever I dock my Ipod on this server, it should scan both the ipod and the music repository on the server, delete any song which are present on the iPod and not on the repository, and add any song present on the repo and not on the iPod, then eject the iPod: no human intervention needed at all, no iTunes, etc...
So far I have not been able to achieve this with reliable results: maybe I am missing something altogether with the gnupod utilities? As far as I can tell, there is no simple way to do this, am I wrong ? I was under the impression this scenario should be fairly common, how do other gnupod users achieve this? At the moment, using the Audio::Scan perl library, I can get very good MP3/M4A tag scanning, and I can reliably compare my repo and my iPod using a perl script, i.e. I can identify whether a song is already present on the iPod, whether it should be deleted or added, and the only thing I miss is a way to add/remove songs from the GnupodDB directly from my perl script, any hints? There is an old Mac::iPod:GNUpod package around, which seems to be slightly outdated and does not work very well on recent iPods. Ideally I would rather use the GNUPod packages directly, rather than an intermediate package?
