The iPod should be mounted automatically. It will be be in /media, with the name of the iPod as the directory, if it was successfully mounted. > Is there an application that will enable me to access the contents > of the iPod device?

As mentioned, Amarok can do this, I'm pretty sure. You can also use individual tools to achieve this. Gtkpod is probably the most comprehensive iPod manager for linux. But it just manages the iPod, it doesn't play music nor burn or rip CDs. Banshee is another tool similar to Amarok that can read and write the iPod, rip and burn CDs and help you organize your music collection. I do know that gtkpod makes it easy to copy your tracks from the iPod to your hard drive, which is handy for backing them up or for using them to feed to a CD burner or music player. You will need to install some tools to enable mp3/m4a playback, as neither is included in Fedora proper, due to patent problems. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you make a mistake, make amends immediately.
