Looking for ipod in the wrong place?

Fri Feb 17, 2006 10:22 pm
Hey. Hopefully, this isn\'t one of those common problems that has been asked a bunch of times. i looked and didn\'t see it.

I have an ipod nano. It\'s mounted in Kubuntu 5.10. I\'m using amaroK 1.37. When I press the \'connect\' button in the device tab, amaroK apparently connects to a location in my mounted windows partition (something close to /media/windows/ipod_control/....). I think it should be connecting to media/sdb2. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

it seems you have the same filesystem structure on your windows partition as it would appear on an ipod. thus, amarok mistakenly assumes that this partition is your ipod. to my knowledge there is nothing (except changing the code or unmounting the windows partition) you could do about that.

but in fact, you\'re lucky that it\'s like this: this way, amarok won\'t get a chance to corrupt your ipod\'s itunesdb (as happens with amarok 1.3.* and 4th generation and newer ipods - only at most 256 songs are shown on these devices).

if you want manage the music on your ipod, you should either use gtkpod (i think at least 0.94, but the newer the better) or amarok-1.4-beta1 and newer.
