Hi there,

would be great if you could take a look at it, too.

As I said I don't have time right now, but on the other hand I don't
think I can leave my hands off the topic, especially in case my iPod
arrives tomorrow, which seems possible :-D

I think we should work together, might speed things up. You can simply
give it a start, look at the docs and stuff, and post results to the
list. If I have a little bit of spare on the weekend time I'll look at
it too, and do the same. I don't expect to have time, though ;)

would be great if we could get this up & running ASAP, so I won't have
to install iTunes/Windows in the first place. If I had a little bit more
money I would have ordered that Mac Mini too, for the living room...
"shuffle gas station" thing ;)

another topic: is it possible to add a "shuffle fill" feature to gtkpod,
like iTunes has it? Selecting a proper number of titles (like "until
512/1G is reached) from either the whole collection or a specific
selection? How much fuzz would it be to add that?

best regards,
~  Lars
