Even when I reinstall it, it says the same thing.
Another question is are there scripts that can be run in linux to add / remove songs from my iPod?
what do you need it for? if your device is jailbroken there are plenty of work arounds so that you dont need itunes at all.

lol, yeah, I have an mp3 player with 2 WATT built in speakers, call it a mini-boombox, and it does usb, microsd and also radio! Somehow it can even read ISOs and ZIPs :shock:

It is the most amazing mp3 I could ever wish for, and it only cost 5 USD :o 8-)

Off-topic: You need 173 more posts for your posts to be a palindrome of mine :D
On-Topic: If that pumps up the iPod's speaker's volume (assuming that the iPod has built in speakers, I don't remember it having any, that is why I have so many 'fond memories' :lol: ) isn't there a risk of burning them?
