Re: [ubuntu-uk] ipod
To get the ipod working as an ipod, not just as an external drive, try GTKPod or try transferring songs through Rhythmbox. Just a note, when you plug into GTKPod it sets up the device so that it reads as an iPod. I am not sure what will happen to your data which is already on it, so you might want to back things up. Also, last time i checked GTKPod had a problem which meant that it crashed if files other than music were synced with the ipod. This means you have to remove all the album artwork from your collection, or sync one album at a time. j On 7 May 2013 11:04, Simon Greenwood sfgreenw...@gmail.com wrote: On 7 May 2013 15:47, Ted Wager t...@trufflesdad.plus.com wrote: I paste an album from a usb stick onto my ipod I can then play the file from the ipod..I reboot and mount the ipod and the file is still there and will play...However when I look at the music files on the ipod itself the album does not show...Any help appreciated..

[ubuntu-uk] iPod Text not centred.
Hi all, I used to use my iPod Nano with gtkPod under Mandriva LE2005 but have now switched to using Amarok1.4 running under Ubuntu F.F.7.04. My problem (though small) is that the displayed text of a playing track on the iPod is no longer central but is all left-justified. The mp3 tracks stored on the computer are the same as before and have not had the ID3 Tags touched. The data (i.e. Track Title, Artist, Album) is correct but is just not as neat as it was when displayed centrally on the iPod. Needless to say, under gtkPod it was fine. This is not a setting in the iPod that has changed as tracks that are on it that were previously loaded with gtkPod still show centrally, just the Amarok-loaded tracks are affected. Has anyone else had this or ever better knows how to put it back in the middle? Regards, Andrew Jenkins. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] iPod management
Actually Deluge isn't very well supported at all - there's only one guy working on it, and releases/fixes are rather infrequent. There's a native linux client for Azureus or, if you're using gnome and don't mind a few KDE libraries, there's KTorrent which I find very good also..

I explained that the necessary codecs for mp3s and so on are easy to install if of dubious legality (I guess they aren't pre-loaded on the Dells, or are they?), but I must admit I have no idea about managing an iPod from Ubuntu. I have most of the songs I want on mine anyway, and still dual-boot so can use iTunes when need be. She is seriously considering this purchase (if not for the very present moment at least when she returns from a long stay in Senegal), so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The thing you may have problems with is music purchased from the iTunes store. It's all locked up with DRM so you'll have to burn it to an audio CD then rip it back to mp3 or ogg using either iTunes or something like Sound Juicer under Ubuntu. -Gav -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] iPod management
Hi, I've had a play with Rhythmbox and a little bit of Banshee. In neither of these can I seem to be able to create playlists on my nano, although editing existing ones worked on Rhythmbox (and they didn't show up at all on Banshee). Gtkpod couldn't find my nano because it wasn't where it was expecting, and looks all a bit rather more technical than I am looking for.
