Hi, I'm a noob and I've searched and searched and can't find what I'm doing wrong, even though I am certain it will be something simple.

I am running ubuntu 9.10 with Amarok 2.2.2 and I have Rockbox installed on my 1g iPod nano.
Amarok however, sees the iPod but doesn't see any tracks on it even though they were copied there in Amarok via the 'Copy to Collection' on the right click menu.

I came to the conclusion that it wasn't seeing the iPod as a generic media player, but while there are instructions for this in previous versions of Amarok, I can't seem to find where to do it in this version.

Help

Someone must have had the same problem?

Or run Amarok and Rockbox without the problem?

Help....


Please....

That is for a plain iPod.

I'm also having trouble with an iPod Video 60GB with Rockbox and Amarok 2.2.2. If I plug the iPod in, Amarok asks if I want to initialise the device. Don't want to click yes in case it messes up the Rockbox settings.

Not sure how helpful this is to some of you, but it happened to me that hal would identify my rockbox player as being a MTP device. Problem is that this information is static in fdi files. Once I purged my player from /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-libmtp8.fdi (here on Debian, your file might be named slightly different), I was able to use my Rockbox player in Amarok 2.

hal identifies a device by its USB ID (see lsusb). Removing (or commenting) the entries of the player in the libmtp fdi file might fix your problem. But you should be careful with this to not break things (be sure to have a backup of the files you change in case hardware detection fails afterwards). You have been warned.
