My iPod

2007/01/12 filed under /personal, /linux, /software

In the WebWereld article I was dubbed "Dutch Hacker". The first thing my wife said after reading the article was "Wow, I'm married to a hacker!". That and my new job made her give me an iPod Nano (for I travel to work by train now).

After picking up the iPod Nano, I went to look how to work with it. First, I hooked it up to a Windows Laptop and was planning to use the official way, through iTunes Unfortunately, this application seemed too hard for me. I messed with it for a while, but I really couldn't figure out how to use it. It's just too hard!

So I went for the preferred syncing method, through my own Linux box. I plugged the USB cable in and my OS recognized it straight away. What a relief! So it was time to give gtkpod a go. Too bad it was like iTunes: too hard for me to grasp (I still really have no clue how those two programs work!).

But thank god there were some Perl tools, called gnupod. Easy to use tools, good documentation, and I can finally put my noise on my iPod!

Eh... is iTunes really that hard to get used to?

And what about your NEW job? Please mail me some info, for I'm going to start at another dept. too on 1/1/2007 ;-)

Yep, iTunes is making things too hard. All I need is to simply transfer MP3-files from my perfectly working and organized file system, to my iPod.

But I have to use "libraries", have to dig through a thousand menus etc. etc. Nope, give me gnupod! :)
