Re: [Gtkpod-questions] gtkpod and m4p (protected) files

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

It is my understanding that we preserve the keys. But since I didn't buy any
playback-protected from the iTunes store yet, I didn't test. Keep a backup
of the iTunesDB (that's all you need) and let us know.

The BIGGER DANGER is in iTunes wiping all tracks of your iPod that are not
in your computer's library. You need to change a prefs entry (something
along the lines "manage iPod's contents") BEFORE you start using gtkpod --
because you can't change the setting until you connect the iPod to iTunes,
and iTunes will immediately wipe your iPod before giving you a chance to
change the setting.

JCS.
