Re: [Gtkpod-questions] I can't get music on my new iPod Nano

Please download gtkpod as well an recompile, so it will use libgpod 0.6.0 (which is indeed labeled as so.3). Creating symlinks the way you do can mess up pretty much everything.
Then read the READMEs supplied with libgpod 0.6.0.
Cheers,
JSc.

What's the difference between eating sugar (e.g. candy bar) and
eating carbon hydrates (let's say a loaf of bread)?
