iPod vFat ...


Okay so I reformatted my iPod nano from HFS+ to vFat32 via command-line in Linux (Debian Etch). I then copyed my Music I had backed up before I reformatted into /media/ipod/iPod_Control/Music/ with all the F01 and F08 folders etc.

I disconnect and try to go to songs and nothing shows up ?
Im at my limit trying to get my iPod to work on Linux. Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

These might come handy:
* apt-get install gnupod-tools
and perhaps:
* apt-get install gtkpod-aac

This will give you gnupod_check which will try to recover "lost" songs and fix some other stuff..

In the gnupod docs you find a section which describes very detailed what you have to do to convert a HFS+ iPod to FAT32:

file:///usr/share/doc/gnupod-tools/gnupod.html#SEC6

cheers

PS: I have to say that my experience with that is limited. My iPod was FAT32 out-of-the-box. Also, I didn't use Apple firmwarevery long, but quickly changed to rockbox since I wanted ogg/vorbis support
