ipod

[justinw.5607516 at bloglines.com]

Could anyone point me to information on how iTunes structures the music files
that will be played on the iPod?  I want to dump music on there in Linux,
but as far as I know, I can't just drop the files anywhere I want.

(this
is regarding the Shuffle in particular, it simply shows up as a USB Mass Storage
device, no problem to mount)
