 Posted: Wed Oct 02, 2024 7:45 pm Post subject: adding music (mp3) to ipod |
 |
|
I am trying to add music in the form of an mp3 to an old ipod touch 6th gen.
I'm using xfce with initrc
I have followed the majority of these instructions.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Apple_iPod,_iPad,_iPhone
I have access to to /media/ipad-Media and I can write to the ipod.
When I paste an mp3 into /media/ipad-Media/iTunes_Control/Music
I can not see it with itunes.
Please throw me a bone.

You cannot just paste the files. It won't play them. It will only play what's in its database. Back when I had iPod I installed rockbox on it which would allow me to just copy the files, but I don't think Touch's are supported.
Nowhere in those instructions is mentioned you can just copy the files. You need software that'll talk to the iPod's DB. I hope the above-mentioned gtkpod will help you, but if it doesn't, I'm afraid you might need to bring up a Windows VM and install an old version of iTunes on it to be able to put music on the iPod.
Best Regards,
Georgi |

Thank you druggo and ogrusx.
I understand.
I am trying to install gtkpod. gtkpod is masked.
I added "app-pda/gtkpod ~amd64 " to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/
I'm trying to unmask it. Please throw me a bone on how you installed gtkpod.
| Code: |
more gtkpod.txt
#=app-pda/gtkpod-2.1.5-r5 ~amd64
app-pda/gtkpod ~amd64
|
| Code: |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies \
!!! Problem resolving dependencies for app-pda/gtkpod
... done!
Dependency resolution took 4.72 s (backtrack: 0/20).
!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "app-pda/gtkpod" has unmet requirements.
- app-pda/gtkpod-2.1.5-r5::gentoo USE="aac cdr flac mp3 vorbis -clutter -curl -gstreamer" ABI_X86="(64)"
The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
cdr? ( gstreamer )

I used the following:
USE=-cdr emerge -av gtkpod
After I added the following to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/gtkpod.txt :
app-pda/gtkpod ~amd64
dev-util/anjuta ~amd64
I was able to install ptkpod.

Sorry for the delay. Life calls. I'll edit my post to show how I did it.
I was able to get ptkpod to install . I am able to mount the ipod I just need to figure out how to push music (mp3) to it.
Thank You !
