This can be done easily in a number of ways on both linux and even on
windows. Gtkpod can do this for you, once you get the iPod to mount
(which the 4th and 5th generation iPod's I've got have done out of the
box with Fedora for several versions).
The current gtkpod in Fedora is 0.99.8. I'm looking to update that to
0.99.10 soon for rawhide and then afterward for F7. I only mention
that because 0.99.10 auto-detects your iPod(s) while 0.99.8 requires you
to point it to the location of your iPod. This should be:
/media/IPOD_NAME.
Once you've got your iPod listed in gtkpod you can right click on the
iPod itself or any album or track on the iPod and choose "Copy Tracks
to Filesystem." The dialog that you get from this allows you to
specify the path and parameters to use for the naming of the copied
tracks.
Sorry, I don't have any bright ideas about the error you're getting.
Les' suggestion seems worth trying unless someone else has a better
solution. What iPod model is this, by the way?
