So far I've gotten:

As you can see I have the iPod listed, HOWEVER, I am having trouble getting it mounted. I am pretty confident that the partions on the iPod (2 of them) are in FAT32 format - because I use XP in concert with iTunes to manage the music files. Unless, I'm mistaken my iPod isn't HFS+ formatted (which has three partitions). IF that were the case I could mount the device with mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda3 /media/ipod/ But, again I'm using XP for the iPod so I'm almost positive that the drive on the player are FAT32.

Did some searching and couldn't find the *name* of the partition I needed to mount in order to see the device (one partition is for the firmware so on).

Do any of you Linux users have an idea?

What type of ipod do you have? Do you have a Mac, PC or Mac+PC?

If your using a Mac or Mac+PC your going to need to use the mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda3 /media/ipod/

If you have the PC version your going to want to use mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/ipod/

That is sda3 on the mac or mac+pc and sda2 on the PC version.
