I have a 40Gb 4th G ipod in windows format. I\'ve been using linux for just a few days and I connected the ipod and played the songs with amarok. Some changes ocurred, but all the songs were there, so I was fine (but amarok deleted my playlists that first time).

Today, I connected for the second time in linux (with amarok). Everything seemed to be ok, but when I tried to eject the ipod it was impossible.

After that I had to reconnect the ipod to windows and open it with iTunes.

First: My ipod did not have my name anymore for iTunes, it was recognized as \"Amarok\". Second: I had over 6400 songs and suddenly I had only 300.....

What\'s wrong?????? Amarok just deleted all of my songs!! I just connected the Ipod and used amarok to listen music, not even to import, burn or something else. Only to play the songs.

I reconnected the ipod to amarok again and again.... same **** as in iTunes, just 300 songs.

The weird stuff is that in the \"about\" section on menu it says that I have 11 Gb available (which is not possible with only 300 songs with a 40Gb capacity).

It sucks!!

What can I do?

you are left with 256 songs, i guess. this is a known bug in amarok 1.3.* with 4th gen and later ipods. won\'t be fixed until 1.4.

Since it seems the tunes are still there, a small tool I\'ve been using called gtkpod has been able to repaid the ipod database, and recover/reload the ipod database.
not sure if it will just delete the files, or recover them.

Thanks anyway, guys.
