Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] gen 4

[Philipp P. <phi...@gm...>]

I would use "ephpod" (its a schmall windows program)

http://www.ephpod.com/

to copy the mp3 files to the ipod! you can even make an ephpod folder, with=
in=20
you place some directory references(is this the correct english word?) and =
if=20
ephpod is correctly configured just pressing on the sync and quit button in=
=20
the start-programm-menu  is doing everything for you!
have fun!
