Last night when I posted about getting my iPod to work with Linux, I spoke too soon.

I did get it to show up in Banshee and I dragged and droped a whole slew of songs on it (in Banshee), but in the end it was just dropping them in the iPods main directory. The iPod does not like this and will not show the music. It likes music index in its own special iPodish way. Its time for me to hold off for a while, keep booting Windows to load on songs, and wait for OSS development to catch up.

I also tried the iPodLinux and was left holding my… mouse when it complained about a sysinfo file missing. I think that the new iPods no longer depend on / use this file, but also read that you can create it your self, a search to undertake in the future.
