<H2> 3.1 Installation of GNUpod </H2>
<!--docid::SEC4::-->
<P>
The installation of GNUpod is very simple:
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>tar -xzvf gnupod-tools-VERSION.tar.gz
cd gnupod-tools/
./configure
make install
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
The <CODE>configure</CODE> script checks if the desired Perl modules are installed.
</P><P>
On Debian GNU/Linux you'll simply have to run these commands to install the required Perl modules:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>apt-get install libfile-ncopy-perl
apt-get install libmp3-info-perl
apt-get install libunicode-string-perl
apt-get install libxml-parser-perl
apt-get install libxml-simple-perl
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
If you are using a RPM-based Distribution (Mandrake, RedHat, SuSE..) try http://www.rpmfind.net.
</P><P>
Another way is to install the modules 'by hand'.
</P><P>
http://search.cpan.org
</P><P>
will help you to find the needed tarballs.
If you don't know how to install them, please read
</P><P>
http://cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_Perl_modules
</P><P>
(Maybe you'd like to use the CPAN-Shell.. Google knows how to use it ;-) )

<H2> 3.2 Using FireWire with GNU/Linux </H2>
<!--docid::SEC5::-->
<P>
Of course the Linux kernel must support FireWire. If the one you are using doesn't have FireWire support you'll have
to recompile your Kernel. (It's also a good idea to update the Kernel when you are doing this...)
</P><P>
If you don't know how to compile the Linux kernel, please read http://www.kernelnewbies.org/faq/index.php3#compile
</P><P>
To get FireWire working, you should configure the Kernel like this:
</P><P>
<UL>
<LI>Code maturity level options - y
<LI>IEEE1394 (FireWire)/IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support (Experimental) - y
<LI>OHCI-1394 support - m
<LI>SBP-2 support - m
</UL>
<P>
Feel free to build OHCI-1394 into the kernel ('y'), but make sure to compile
SBP-2 support as module. It won't work well if you say 'y' there!
If you don't own an OHCI-1394 FireWire card you may need to use the LYNX driver instead.
But OHCI-1394 is the most common, please also have a look at http://www.linux1394.org
</P><P>
After you reboot with the new Kernel, you should now be able to mount the iPod.
First load the OHCI-1394 module if you said 'm' to OHCI-1394 support.
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>modprobe ohci1394
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Now plug in the iPod and wait until you can see the 'hook-symbol' and load the sbp2 module using
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>modprobe sbp2
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Please keep in mind that FireWire support is still experimental and you may see Kernel "oopses" and other nasty things.
If your system hangs after loading sbp2 or mounting the iPod you may try to load sbp2 like this:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>modprobe sbp2 sbp2_max_speed=0 sbp2_serialize_io=1 sbp2_force_inquiry_hack=1
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
This will slow down the transfer rate but should be much more stable.
Note: Firewire works very well with Linux 2.6. If you have problems
with Linux 2.4, you may want to upgrade to 2.6!
</P><P>
After loading sbp2, use <CODE>dmesg</CODE> to get some information. The output
should look like this (if you are running linux 2.4.20 or older):
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>SBP-2 module load options:
- Max speed supported: S400
- Max sectors per I/O supported: 255
- Max outstanding commands supported: 8
- Max outstanding commands per lun supported: 1
- Serialized I/O (debug): no
- Exclusive login: yes
Vendor: Apple Model: iPod Rev: 1.21
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sdb: 9780750 512-byte hdwr sectors (5008 MB)
sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
sda: sda1 sda2
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
In this case, <CODE>/dev/sda</CODE> would be your iPod.
</P><P>
Linux 2.4.21 (and newer) doesn't show such verbose output and your iPod
will not be detected while loading sbp2. Simply run <CODE>rescan-scsi-bus.sh</CODE> which
should find your iPod (See /proc/scsi/scsi).
(You can download 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh' at http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh)
</P><P>
You can now mount the iPod:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
It's a good idea to add a line like this to the fstab
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod vfat defaults,user,noauto,umask=000
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Note: avoid adding the 'sync' mount-option for flash based iPods (Shuffle, Nano) because
flash drives have a limited number of write cycles.
</P><P>
Note2: as you can see, we assume an FAT32/VFAT formatted iPod (<CODE>-t
vfat</CODE>); if you own an HFS+ formatted iPod (aka. Mac-iPod) please have a look at the
next section 'Convert your Mac iPod' before using <CODE>mount</CODE>.

<H2> 3.3 Convert your Mac iPod </H2>
<!--docid::SEC6::-->
<P>
If the Operating System you are running doesn't have write support for HFS+ and your iPod is
HFS+ Formatted (aka 'Mac-iPod') you will have to reformat the iPod.
</P><P>
Note: Linux 2.6.4 includes HFS+ Read/WRITE Support(!)
It's still experimental and may do nasty things. (But it works well for me...)
If you build your kernel with HFS+ support, you don't have to convert your iPod :)
</P><P>
Please note that you will need an fdisk for DOS-Style partitions, you will also need a kernel that supports
Mac- (to read the firmware) and Dos-style (to access the device after converting it) partitions.
If you are using GNU/Linux on x86, your fdisk should be fine, but if you are running GNU/Linux on
(for example) PowerPC you may have to get a suitable fdisk from the util-linux package which can
be retrieved from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/
</P><P>
Compile and install the pc-fdisk (and only the pc-fdisk!)
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>tar -xjvf util-linux-X.XXx.tar.bz2
cd util-linux-X.XXx
./configure
cd fdisk
make
cp fdisk /usr/sbin/pc-fdisk
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
We assume that your iPod is at <CODE>/dev/sda</CODE>. (No, don't mount the iPod, simply plugin the iPod and make sure it
got detected with <CODE>dmesg</CODE>.
</P><P>
Here we go:
</P><P>
First, we 'backup' the current Firmware
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>dd if=/dev/sda2 of=backup_firmware
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
This should result in a ~32MB file, now we have to kill the old partition map and force the kernel
to re-read the new (empty) map
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=10
rmmod sbp2 && insmod sbp2
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Now we can use 'pc-fdisk' to create a new partition layout:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>pc-fdisk /dev/sda [start fdisk]
Command (m for help): n [make new partition]
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p we want primary
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-608, default 1): [just press enter]
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-608, default 608): +32M [32M is the default for 1.x iPods]
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 2
First cylinder (6-608, default 6): 6 [Just use the default value, press ENTER (don't worry if it isn't 6)]
Using default value 6
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (6-608, default 608): [press ENTER]
Using default value 608 [If you don't own a 5gb iPod, this value will be different, don't care about it]
Command (m for help): t [Modify type]
Partition number (1-4): 1
Hex code (type L to list codes): 0 [we don't care about the warning below]
Type 0 means free space to many systems
(but not to Linux). Having partitions of
type 0 is probably unwise. You can delete
a partition using the `d' command.
Changed system type of partition 1 to 0 (Empty)
Command (m for help): t
Partition number (1-4): 2 [this is where data will go]
Hex code (type L to list codes): b [b=FAT32]
Changed system type of partition 2 to b (Win95 FAT32)
Command (m for help): w [Writing new partition. Can take a while.]
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Note: The first partition doesn't have to be 32M, it just needs enough space to hold the firmware
image (6M would be okay for firmware 130.bin).
Now we can rewrite the Firmwarebackup we created above.
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>dd if=backup_firmware of=/dev/sda1
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
You may ask why we now write the Firmware to sda1 while we read it from sda2, the answer is simple:
Before running fdisk, the iPod was a Mac-iPod with a different Partition layout, but now the iPod is a Windows-iPod, belive me: sda1
is correct.
</P><P>
After writing back the Firmware we can format the iPod:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n "LUNIX" /dev/sda2
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
"LUNIX" is the name of the iPod, you can use another name if you like. After mkfs.vfat is done, we remove sbp2:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>rmmod sbp2
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Unplug the iPod and pray. If everything went well, the iPod boots up :).
If not, reread this section, if you are lost, feel free to drop me a mail: bug-gnupod@nongnu.org
(Btw: If you can't get the iPod into diskmode again, try this: Reboot the iPod by pressing
'MENU+PLAY' ~ 5 seconds. While the iPod is booting, press (and hold) |<<+>>| (=Forced Diskmode))
</P><P>
It's a good idea to edit <CODE>/etc/fstab</CODE> and add a line for the iPod:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod vfat defaults,user,noauto,umask=000
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>

<H2> 3.4 Firmware update </H2>
<!--docid::SEC7::-->
<P>
** Don't update the Firmware just for fun, only do it if you need a
new Firmware and/or the documentation told you to do this **
</P><P>
Note: These steps do not work on late 2007 iPods (such as Classic, Touch and 3th gen. Nano).
</P><P>
Setup Firewire (or USB) as described in 'Using FireWire with GNU/Linux', load the modules and make sure that sbp2 detected your iPod.
Mount the iPod and run <CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE> to bring the device into a 'clean' state. Unmount the iPod after mktunes.pl finishes
but do *not* unplug the iPod. Ready? Ok, we assume your iPod is <CODE>/dev/sda</CODE>:
</P><P>
First you need to get a new Firmware image.
Checkout the latest firmware list:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>wget -O list.gz http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net//WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.appserver.client.MZITunesClientCheck/version

Download the correct firmware image for your iPod (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688 should help you identify our iPod model) and extract it:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre># Example for ipod photo: iPod_11.1.2.1.ipsw : 11 = Model (Photo) 1.2.1 = Firmware version
wget http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bundles/061-2694.20060912.ipDcD/iPod_11.1.2.1.ipsw
unzip iPod_11.1.2.1.ipsw
Archive: iPod_11.1.2.1.ipsw
inflating: Firmware-11.4.2.1
inflating: manifest.plist
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Ok, we are now ready to write the new firmware to the iPod.
</P><P>
If your iPod is HFS+ Formatted (your kernel supports 'mac-style' partitions??), use
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>dd if=Firmware-11.4.2.1 of=/dev/sda2 # <-- this is the extracted image, do NOT write the .ipsw file!
sync
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
to upgrade the Firmware. If you own a FAT32 Formatted iPod (most common), use
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>dd if=Firmware-11.4.2.1 of=/dev/sda1 # <-- this is the extracted image, do NOT write the .ipsw file!
sync
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
After <CODE>dd</CODE> finished (it can take some time), run a <CODE>sync</CODE> and unplug the iPod.
</P><P>
Please note: Your Warranty Is Now Void ;-)
</P><P>
And please don't blame me if your iPod dies...

<H2> 4.1 Preparation </H2>
<!--docid::SEC9::-->
<P>
Mount the iPod (I assume you mount it at /mnt/ipod) as described in 'Using FireWire with GNUpod'
</P><P>
If the iPod is freshly formatted or you never used GNUpod before with this iPod, run
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_INIT.pl -m /mnt/ipod
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
gnupod_INIT.pl will create the default directory tree and creates an empty GNUtunesDB
(or if it finds an iTunesDB, it runs tunes2pod.pl to convert the iTunesDB to an GNUtunesDB)
</P><P>
Use
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_INIT.pl -m /mnt/ipod --france
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
if you would like to enable the 'EU-Volume-Limit' (=decrease max. volume).
This only works for iPods running Firmware 1.x
</P><P>
Your iPod is now ready for GNUpod!

<!--docid::SEC10::-->
<P>
(Note: You don't need to bother with the Configfile. GNUpod works fine
without it, but it could make your life easier)
</P><P>
GNUpod >= 0.95 can read a simple Configfile.
An example comes with GNUpod, see doc/gnupodrc.example
</P><P>
Edit this file and save it as ~/.gnupodrc or on your iPod (iPod_Control/.gnupod/gnupodrc)

<H2> 4.3 Add files </H2>
<!--docid::SEC11::-->
<P>
To add files, we use the script called <CODE>gnupod_addsong.pl</CODE>.
</P><P>
First, mount the iPod (eg. at /mnt/ipod) if it isn't mounted.
</P><P>
If you would like to add the file /tmp/foo.mp3, run gnupod_addsong.pl like this:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_addsong.pl -m /mnt/ipod /tmp/foo.mp3
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
You can also use wildcards:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_addsong.pl -m /mnt/ipod /mnt/mp3/seiken_densetsu2_ost/* /mnt/mp3/xenogears/ost?/*
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
It isn't possible to add the same MP3 multiple times, gnupod_addsong.pl detects duplicates
(Duplicate = same filesize/time and ID3Tag name). You can disable the duplicate-detection
with the '--duplicate' switch.
</P><P>
gnupod_addsong.pl understands MP3/WAV (RIFF) and M4A (Apple AAC - NO DRM!) files.
</P><P>
It can also convert FLAC and OGG files on-the-fly:
</P><P>
Using this example, it would convert the two files into MP3 and add them to the iPod.
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_addsong.pl -m /mnt/ipod myfile.flac myfile.ogg --decode=mp3
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
(Note: To use all features of --decode, you will have to install
Audio::FLAC::Header, Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl, lame, flac, oggenc and faac)
</P><P>
gnupod_addsong.pl tries to 'auto-detect' the encoding of the ID3 Tag.
Sometimes this works (in most cases ;) ) sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't work for you,
feel free to send me an example-file: pab@blinkenligts.ch
</P><P>
DO NOT umount the iPod yet! First read the section 'Unplug the iPod'!

GNUpod includes a tool called <CODE>gnupod_search.pl</CODE> that helps you search for files.

Maybe you would like to search for the artist called 'Schlummiguch'. In this case, run
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_search.pl -m /mnt/ipod -a "Schlummiguch"
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Note: gnupod_search.pl assumes RegExp input.

Open the file <CODE>iPod_Control/.gnupod/GNUtunesDB</CODE> in a editor (It's an XML File).
</P><P>
To create a playlist named 'sweet' which holds the songs with the ID 1 and 2, create something like this:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre><playlist name="sweet">
<add id="1" />
<add id="2" />
</playlist>
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
You are not limited to use 'id', you can also use other attributes:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre><playlist name="bogus">
<add album="seiken densetsu" bitrate="256" />
</playlist>
</pre></td></tr></table>This would add every song from the album 'Seiken Densetsu' (<add.. is case INsensitive) with a bitrate of 256kbit/s.
</P><P>
Since GNUpod 0.26 it's also possible to use Regular Expressions (Regex).
See <CODE>perldoc perlre</CODE> to learn more about this
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre><playlist name="Regex Demo">
<regex album="^A" />
<iregex album="^b" />
</playlist>
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
<regex is case sensitive, use <iregex to do case insensitive matching.
</P><P>
It's also possible to sort a playlist:
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre><playlist name="By Album" sort="album">
<regex artist="bach" />
</playlist>
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
This adds all songs from Bach, sorted by album (a..z). You can use every
<CODE><file ..></CODE> item (id, bitrate, title..) for <CODE>sort</CODE>.
Add 'reverse ' at the beginning, to reverse the sorting:
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre><playlist name="By Title" sort="reverse title">
<regex artist="U2" />
</playlist>
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
You can also use Smart-Playlists with Firmware >= 2.x
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre> <smartplaylist checkrule="spl" liveupdate="1" name="Example SPL1" >
<spl action="eq" field="playcount" string="0" />
<spl action="IS" field="artist" string="Jon Doe" />
</smartplaylist>
<smartplaylist checkrule="spl" liveupdate="1" name="Example SPL2" >
<spl action="gt" field="bitrate" string="311" />
</smartplaylist>
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
'Example SPL1' matches all songs from 'Jon Doe' with playcount==0 (= All songs from Jon Doe that heven't been played yet)
'Example SPL2' matches all songs with a Bitrate > 331.
(See also README.smartplaylists)
</P><P>
For more examples have a look at <CODE>doc/gnutunesdb.example</CODE> included in the GNUpod tarball.
Also check out http://blinkenlights.ch/gnupod/mkspl.html for a 'JavaScript SPL-Creator'
</P><P>
You can also use the --playlist option of gnupod_addsong.pl. This will create and add the listed songs to the
named playlist.
</P><P>
Don't forget to run mktunes before umounting! (See 'Unplug the iPod')

<!--docid::SEC16::-->
<P>
To create a podcast playlist you just need to set the podcast flag to '1':
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre> <playlist name="Test Podcast" podcast="1">
<iregex artist="John Doe" />
</playlist>
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Such a playlist will show up as a Podcast after running mktunes.pl
</P><P>
gnupod_addsong.pl can also download podcasts and create such playlists itself:
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_addsong.pl -p "Heute Morgen" --playlist-is-podcast http://pod.drs.ch/heutemorgen_mpx.xml
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Running this command will create a Playlist called 'Heute Morgen' (<CODE>-p</CODE>) and set <CODE>podcast="1"</CODE> (<CODE>--playlist-is-podcast</CODE>).
<CODE>gnupod_addsong.pl</CODE> will then fetch the podcast from <CODE>http://pod.drs.ch/heutemorgen_mpx.xml</CODE>, download all (new) files
and add them to the 'Heute Morgen' playlist!

<H2> 4.9 Adding cover artwork </H2>
<!--docid::SEC17::-->
<P>
GNUpod can write cover artwork for video and nano iPods. The internal image format is model specific, so you should give
GNUpod a hint about the image format it should use.
</P><P>
If you own a video (compatible) iPod, set:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>model = video
</pre></td></tr></table>in your gnupod configuration file (found at ~/.gnupodrc or $IPOD_MOUNTPOINT/iPod_Control/.gnupod/gnupodrc , see doc/gnupodrc.exmaple for more details).
For the iPod nano you should use:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>model = nano
</pre></td></tr></table>Late 2007-nanos need this setting:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>model = nano_3g
</pre></td></tr></table>Late 2008-nanos need this setting:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>model = nano_4g
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
To specify a cover while adding files you'd use the <CODE>--artwork</CODE> switch of <CODE>gnupod_addsong.pl</CODE>. Example:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_addsong.pl --artwork cover.jpg *.mp3
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Use <CODE>gnupod_search.pl</CODE> to change/add artwork for existing files. Example:
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre># Set cover.jpg as artwork for all songs that match album =~ /Katamari/i
gnupod_search.pl --artwork cover.jpg --album Katamari
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
don't forget to run <CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE> afterwards.
</P><P>
Note: Artwork added by GNUpod may vanish after using iTunes: GNUpod does not inject the artwork into the id3-header of the file.
If iTunes finds such a file (while scanning / changing tags) the artwork may get dropped.

<H2> 4.10 Unplug the iPod </H2>
<!--docid::SEC18::-->
<P>
Before umounting the iPod, you have to call <CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE> which will
parse the GNUtunesDB XML file and convert it into the iTunesDB format.
</P><P>
Simply run
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>mktunes.pl -m /mnt/ipod
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Note: Since GNUpod 0.91, mktunes.pl has a '--volume' option which you can use to
boost the Volume.
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>mktunes.pl -m /mnt/ipod --volume 40
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
This would adjust the volume +40 percent. (You can also use '-100' to get
a silent iPod ;) )
</P><P>
After <CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE> is done, you can umount the iPod and remove the sbp2 module
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>umount /mnt/ipod
rmmod sbp2
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
Added songs won't be visible on the iPod if you did not run mktunes.pl before umounting the iPod.
(If you forgot to run <CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE> before unpluging/umounting, simply mount the iPod again and run it)

gnupod_check.pl will tell you what you could do to fix it.
</P><P>
If gnupod_check.pl found many errors (or you lost your GNUtunesDB.xml),
you can 'rebuild' an GNUtunesDB using <CODE>gnupod_addsong.pl</CODE>
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>gnupod_addsong.pl --restore -m /mnt/ipod

First, it will create a clean, empty GNUtunesDB, it won't delete any songs on the iPod.
Then, <CODE>gnupod_addsong.pl --restore</CODE> will re-create a GNUtunesDB including the Songs which are on the iPod
</P><P>
I think nobody will ever have to do this.. but it maybe usefull to know that it's possible

<P>
GNUpod can coexist with iTunes and other programs for the iPod.
</P><P>
If you want to use an iPod with GNUpod and used something other than GNUpod (maybe iTunes)
to perform the last update (adding songs, editing playists.. doing something..), you'll have to
use <CODE>tunes2pod.pl</CODE> to update the (outdated) GNUtunesDB.
</P><P>
Mount the iPod and run
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre>tunes2pod.pl -m /mnt/ipod
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
The iPod is now ready again for GNUpod.
</P><P>
You have to do this because GNUpod stores its information in the GNUtunesDB, but other programs access the
iTunesDB directly. After you did something with eg. iTunes, the GNUtunesDB would be 'outdated' and you would
lose any changes you made with iTunes. Running <CODE>tunes2pod.pl</CODE> will write a new GNUtunesDB which
reflects the content of the current iTunesDB.
</P><P>
You sould avoid the use of 'extended playlist support' if you use your iPod with other programs.
</P><P>

<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=example><pre><files>

<!--docid::SEC21::-->
<P>
Late 2007 iPod models (3gen Nano, Classic, Touch) refuse to work unless the iTunesDB has been signed with a sha1 hash.
This hash helps to detect corrupted databases, prevents sharing an iTunesDB between multiple iPods and locks out
non-apple software. GNUpod is able to create the required hash value if it knows the iPods serial number, this is a 16 chars long hex
value such as: <CODE>000ba3100310abcf</CODE> and should be autodetected on GNU/Linux (via <CODE>/proc/bus/usb/devices</CODE>) and Solaris (via <CODE>prtconf -v</CODE>).
If GNUpod somehow fails to find the correct serial number of your iPod you'll have to specify the correct value using the <CODE>--fwguid</CODE> switch
of <CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE>.

<H2> 5.1 GNUtunesDB </H2>
<!--docid::SEC23::-->
<P>
We talked a lot about the 'GNUtunesDB' and the 'iTunesDB' files, but
why do we need these two files and what's the difference ?
</P><P>
Well, you can find the iTunesDB on your iPod at <CODE>iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB</CODE> .
This file is read by the iPod when you 'boot' the device.
The iTunesDB is a small Database and stores information about all MP3s on the iPod
(Title, Artist, Path, Bitrate...) and all Playlists: everything the iPod needs to know.
</P><P>
The iTunesDB is a proprietary file format created by Apple.
</P><P>
The GNUtunesDB (<CODE>iPod_Control/.gnupod/GNUtunesDB</CODE>) holds the same information like
the iTunesDB, but it's a simple XML file: easy to understand by humans and easy to edit by hand.
</P><P>
Everytime you run <CODE>tunes2pod.pl</CODE>, the iTunesDB will get parsed and converted into an
XML File (the GNUtunesDB).
<CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE> does the opposite: it parses the XML file and creates an iTunesDB (for the
iPod and iTunes)
</P><P>
Only mktunes.pl and tunes2pod.pl have to worry about the iTunesDB format: all other tools
(gnupod_addsong.pl for example) only have to deal with the XML file called GNUtunesDB.
</P><P>
It's important to keep the iTunesDB and GNUtunesDB 'in sync', so everytime you change the
GNUtunesDB (by hand or using gnupod_something.pl) you'll have to run <CODE>mktunes.pl</CODE>.
</P><P>
If 'you' changed the iTunesDB (using gtkPod/iTunes/Ehpod), run <CODE>tunes2pod.pl</CODE> *before*
using any other GNUpod commands.

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

<OL>
<LI>
PREAMBLE
<P>
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document <EM>free</EM> in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
for modifications made by others.
</P><P>
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
</P><P>
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
</P><P>
<LI>
APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
<P>
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,
refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you
copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
under copyright law.
</P><P>
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
</P><P>
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
them.
</P><P>
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
Sections then there are none.
</P><P>
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
</P><P>
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
</P><P>
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
format, <FONT SIZE="-1">SGML</FONT> or <FONT SIZE="-1">XML</FONT> using a publicly available
<FONT SIZE="-1">DTD</FONT>, and standard-conforming simple <FONT SIZE="-1">HTML</FONT>,
PostScript or <FONT SIZE="-1">PDF</FONT> designed for human modification. Examples
of transparent image formats include <FONT SIZE="-1">PNG</FONT>, <FONT SIZE="-1">XCF</FONT> and
<FONT SIZE="-1">JPG</FONT>. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
read and edited only by proprietary word processors, <FONT SIZE="-1">SGML</FONT> or
<FONT SIZE="-1">XML</FONT> for which the <FONT SIZE="-1">DTD</FONT> and/or processing tools are
not generally available, and the machine-generated <FONT SIZE="-1">HTML</FONT>,
PostScript or <FONT SIZE="-1">PDF</FONT> produced by some word processors for
output purposes only.
</P><P>
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
</P><P>
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
</P><P>
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
no effect on the meaning of this License.
</P><P>
<LI>
VERBATIM COPYING
<P>
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
</P><P>
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
you may publicly display copies.
</P><P>
<LI>
COPYING IN QUANTITY
<P>
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
as verbatim copying in other respects.
</P><P>
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
pages.
</P><P>
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
a computer-network location from which the general network-using
public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
edition to the public.
</P><P>
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
</P><P>
<LI>
MODIFICATIONS
<P>
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
</P><P>
<OL>
<LI>
Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
<P>
<LI>
List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
unless they release you from this requirement.
<P>
<LI>
State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
<P>
<LI>
Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
<P>
<LI>
Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
<P>
<LI>
Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
<P>
<LI>
Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
<P>
<LI>
Include an unaltered copy of this License.
<P>
<LI>
Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add
to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one
stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
Version as stated in the previous sentence.
<P>
<LI>
Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
<P>
<LI>
For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve
the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
dedications given therein.
<P>
<LI>
Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
<P>
<LI>
Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
<P>
<LI>
Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or
to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
<P>
<LI>
Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
</OL>
<P>
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
</P><P>
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
standard.
</P><P>
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
</P><P>
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
</P><P>
<LI>
COMBINING DOCUMENTS
<P>
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
</P><P>
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
</P><P>
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"
in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
"History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",
and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all
sections Entitled "Endorsements."
</P><P>
<LI>
COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
<P>
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
</P><P>
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
</P><P>
<LI>
AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
<P>
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
When the Document is included an aggregate, this License does not
apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
derivative works of the Document.
</P><P>
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
aggregate.
</P><P>
<LI>
TRANSLATION
<P>
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Document, and any Warrany Disclaimers, provided that you also include
the original English version of this License and the original versions
of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
</P><P>
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
title.
</P><P>
<LI>
TERMINATION
<P>
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
</P><P>
<LI>
FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
<P>
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
<A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</A>.
</P><P>
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

<H3> A.0.1 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents </H3>
<!--docid::SEC28::-->
<P>
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and
license notices just after the title page:
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=smallexample><FONT SIZE=-1><pre> Copyright (C) <VAR>year</VAR> <VAR>your name</VAR>.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
</FONT></pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
</P><P>
<TABLE><tr><td> </td><td class=smallexample><FONT SIZE=-1><pre> with the Invariant Sections being <VAR>list their titles</VAR>, with
the Front-Cover Texts being <VAR>list</VAR>, and with the Back-Cover Texts
being <VAR>list</VAR>.
</FONT></pre></td></tr></table></P><P>
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
</P><P>
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
to permit their use in free software.
