I sometimes use that feature to my advantage.

Definitely a nice thing. My ipod would be worthless if it required windows. In fact, I feel bad for the folks stuck using itunes or windows to manage their ipods. I have much greater control over the device from linux than they do from windows. > The next logical step would be to transfer the iPod files from my > Linux computers to their XP box. Yet another project appears ... As an idea for that, you could setup a music share (probably via SMB, if you have a bunch of Windows systems) on your network so they could browse and listen to the music located on your computer from any of the other computers on the network. You could also share the music via the DAAP protocol, which allows other DAAP clients (like iTunes) to see your music and play it. There are tools in Fedora to do DAAP easily either via a daemon or using a number of music programs (banshee and rhythmbox both can do this IIRC, as I'm sure a number of others can). -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then who is the fool who said "Quit while you're ahead?"
