Classic Ipod 160G issue [SOLVED]

Hi there,

I have a new classic ipod 160B win formated.

I can mount it and use gtkpod to see/listen to the things on the ipod.
As soon as I delete,upload, save changes no matter what I do, after unmount/eject ipod displays: no music, no videos.
The only thing that repairs it it's the restore function in itunes.

My new laptop has NO win, therefore I'm a bot frustrated about not having the possibility to change things in my ipod.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

do you have the (masked) libgpod v. 0.6.0?

even then, support seems a mite sketchy
(see http://www.gtkpod.org/libgpod.html)

I have:

media-libs/libgpod
Latest version available: 0.5.2
Latest version installed: 0.5.2
Size of files: 773 kB
Homepage: http://www.gtkpod.org/libgpod.html
Description: Shared library to access the contents of an iPod
License: LGPL-2

So... I was afraid that it might be the case.... I am kinda out of options...

Why not try the masked 0.6.0 version

(in case you don't know already, just add the

Thanks guys!!!

Yep, lipgpod did the trick....
And also edited the /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/Device/SysInfo.

I CAN use my new ipod in gentoo!!!! Gentoo rocks!! :-)

Hey,

I am still having issues with the same version of ipod as yours. What did you have to put in the SysInfo?
Whenever I dump new mp3's on the ipod the whole thing gets wiped out.

The libgpod README and wiki explain what to do.
