Re: [Gtkpod-questions] Album/Cover art

[Jorg S. <Jor...@gm...>]

You need that file otherwise libgpod will not recognize your iPod.

My iPod writes it automatically after I wipe it, if I'm not mistaken.

Otherwise: Would anyone be able to provide Rob with a SysInfo file from a 5G
iPod?

Cheers,

"PA002" should be fine for a 5G iPod Video -- the above is for an iPod Nano.
