Re: o/t ipod
Sorry if I am too late. I once tried to connect a friend´s ipod to rhythmbox on Debian Lenny. The behavior was really buggy. I managed to download only some of the songs to the computer. And after unmounting, the ipod was showing as empty. Even though when remounted to the computer, rhythmbox was showing all music library. I didn´t manage to restore the ipod to its original state but then I was told that with some windows software, the ipod recovered, showing the music library, and without any data loss. I would be careful...

(I think there are 3rd party tools for that, but no idea how they are called) Actually it is. The most important factor is the source of the songs. If they were bought on iTunes more than a year and a half ago, then they are most likely laden with iTunes' DRM (the songs have a .m4p extension). Anyway, I digress. I know that if you go into iTunes and open the iPod's page, and then select enable disk use then you can just copy all the files over (they'll be nested pretty deeply, just look for a bunch of folders containing possibly yet more folders which contain a bunch of four-letter filenames). After you copy them you should be able to drag them into iTunes. If you go the linux route you SHOULD be able to just connect the ipod and open the folder. I'm running Sid with LXDE, and opening up the file manager allowed me _read_only_ access to the iPod, with no fancy command-line mount required. However, it did connect with an extremely slow protocol, which appeared to take more time to copy the files than accessing it as a USB device on windows (disclaimer: subjective experience, may have had to do with better hardware on winbox). So to wrap up, the files are on there, all you need to do is get read access and copy it over. No fancy third party program needed. The files are all correctly tagged, so they should play with a quick drag and/or import into -insert favorite music player here- as long as -said music player- has support for the MPEG-4 codec. Note that these codecs are patent-encumbered, so they might be in multiverse. I think the package for the gstreamer powered applications is gstreamer-plugins-bad or something. And if they're DRM protected, then I can make a torrent that contains the software to take off the DRM (requiem)- note that this requires installing an early version of itunes (i think) and only works on windows. -- rbmj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I use gtkpod. Works like a champ. You'd have to plug in your son's iPod first and transfer the files to your computer, then plug your iPod in and copy them to it off your computer. Having said that, I don't have any music that was purchased and might have DRM stuff. All my music is classical that I ripped myself from my CD collection. I don't know what gtkpod will do with DRM. Also, my iPod is several years old, so I don't know if there might be a problem with newer models.

Re: o/t ipod
ol- Original message - My son has bought me an ipodtouch for Xmas..Anyone tell me how I can transfer the music files on his ipod to mine ?..I only have Linux on my machines but can get access to a Winbox at a neighbours... Hi Ted, i dont know if u use KDE and neither do i know if it was an iPod touch 2G, I assume both in this post. U can use amarok. http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod as u can see from the compatibility list there, it doesnt work our of the box for the newer ones, but there seem to be workarounds as: http://unusedcycles.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/amarok-14-sync-with-ipod-touch-2g-in-linux/ Greets Simon P.S. Gtkpod, as mentioned before, is worth a try too and may be less of a pain to get to run.
