Re: [Gtkpod-questions] syncing the iTunesDB file

[Cindy <ti...@gm...>]

Update: there is the "Synchronize iTunesDB" which seems promising; but
generates the same message "Warning the iTunesDB has not been imported...".
I went ahead and did it anyway, and then synced "today's" files over.  In
checking the iPod, of course only today's songs are present, and not any
from yesterday.  So, help!

Thx,
