Re: [Gtkpod-devel] iPod nano kinda works

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

Hi Scott,

should be fixed now: gtkpod (or rather: libgpod) will determine the number
of existing directories before writing to the iPod.

You need to install both gtkpod and libgpod from CVS to take advantage of
this feature. See www.gtkpod.org for details (downloads/libgpod).

Cheers,


JCS.
