It depends on the firmware version. All versions except the latest one are supported by Amarok, libgpod, rythmbox et. al. and you can safely use them to create the iTunesDB. If you use the iPod with Linux only, i.e. never try to "upgrade" to the latest firmware via iTunes, the iPod will happily sing for you everafter. Cheers, Anant P.S. In any case, it is possible to restore the iPod to "factory defaults" erasing everything on the disk. Even if the initialization goes awry you can always connect it to iTunes and restore it. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
