OK, firstly - after recent forced formats of my drives i lost all music from my PC, thankfully it is still on my ipod. so my question is, would it be possible to restore to my PC? can Amarok do this ? (in <artist><album> format as that is how it was originally on my HD before formatting)
second question is in regard to mounting. if my ipod is connected to the USB BEFORE starting my pc the ipod will mount itself automatically in /media/IPOD.
But, if my PC is already booted before i connect the ipod to USB (as it is now) it does not mount itself, so the ipod does not get a battery charge, and my playlists are pointing to invalid locations.
when i click 'connect' in Amarok i get this prompt -
but i have absolutely no idea what the connect/disconnect commands are......
it's a 5G 30gig video ipod (white) formatted to windows.
here is my fstab, if it helps -
thanks for any help you can give.
