Amarok 1.4.4
KDE 3.4.2

How should my ipod be set up? I assume not to automatically synch with Itunes
well here is the my list.
- I copy the mp3s to my ipod and the files show up under the media device browser. they show in the ipod but won't play (nothing happens at all).
- I am told "The file Ž·2 is not writable" when attempting to change any tags in the ipod
- when I look at the file's locations under "Edit Info" the files that I transfered using amarok tell me Ž·2  and the files that were there from Itunes say Ž·2/iPod_Control/Music/F04/YIPG.mp3

When in Itunes all the files transfered from Amarok show up fine and even the ratings. But they will not play at all.
Why would this happen?
I fell so close to finally ditching Itunes....

That's a bug in Amarok.

I think the latest release fixed the issue. Not sure yet, I haven't tried it personally.

This is the lates release. Haven't tried the CVS, but I don't think I will. thanks though.

It appears that you (or your package system) upgraded libgod from version 0.3.2 or so to 0.4.0 without recompiling Amarok after this. However, Amarok has to be compiled for the version of libgpod that is actually used.

Ok I recompiled libgpod 0.4.0 and recompiled Amarok. but it does the same things. also I can't play the files in my ipod from Amarok. It tells me the filetype is incorrect. should I completely remove Amarok and libgpod and then rebuild?
