iPod needs your mp3s stored in a special way (this was created as way to put a little obstacle to spreading illegal music). You'll learn more when you'll take a look at the directory structure after you mount it. That's why you need a special app instead of just copying the files. I suppose you're a gnome user, so you can use GTKpod, but if you don't mind installing kde packages, try also amaroK. cheers, jano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
