I used gtkpod to move my 20GB of music onto my iPod Video (5.5G) but now use amarok 1.4.10 (I'm still on KDE3) to manage my music. As you have a largish library(more than 10GB), I'd recommend using the MySQL backend for amarok because otherwise importing your library into amarok will take hours/days! > Cheers > Rob Cheers, Steve -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
