 |
|
various gtk players come with an ipod use flag. I am wondering what this use flag actually does.
I don't have an ipod but i have a portable mp3 player (sort of generic). does enabling this use flag (say in rhythmbox, banshee or listen) unable me to add remove songs directly to my mp3 player? will it work with a generic (non ipod) mp3 player?

most generic mp3 players "non ipod" are or can be mounted as a drive like any other, there for you should be able to delete or add files to it just as you would your hard disk. so no the ipod USE would not be of any help to you at all.

Hi juniper,
for rhythmbox, the ipod useflag does not support track transfer to generic audio players, but there is a bug report with a working patch.
Works for me with an Archos Gmini 400.
I made a rhythmbox CVS ebuild which includes this patch, I can give it to you if you want. |

hi guys
i m getting mad and losing my temper.
i compiled banshee with ipod use flag and that s allright
i followed the harware wiki ipod of gentoo for the ipod.
i can mount it on /dev/ipod (it a nano 4Go 2nd gen)
means I can see what s inside
but no ay to copy any music.
that s normal as read in forums, I need either banshee, gtkpod, or another amarok like player.Gnome user, I installed banshee
everything should just work. Y una mierda! No way
I can t see anything in banshee s help online, neither menus, anything to see the ipod.
it s recognized as /dev/sdb2 (vfat format) and dmesg output is the correct one...
Would you know what s wrong? what have i to do in banshee? (nothing appears as ipod in the left column)
many thanks, and a happy new year
edit: ipod-sharp and libipoddevice are both installed... but can t get the way to use them... (ipod in a shell just waits for a HAL event and nothing works when i plug the ipod) |

just tried your ebuild (the one posted above for rhythmbox), and it doesn't compile.
what about banshee or listen? do they do generic mp3 player support? what about amarok, does it do generic mp3 player support (i know it is not gtk2). |

juniper,
the patch for track transfer to generic players is now included upstream. If you still want to try rhythmbox, try this ebuild:

You don't have to add any USE flag to enable track transfer, it is enabled by default.
If it does not compile, please post the error message you get and I will try to help you. |
