I have had gnupod for a while. Still haven't figured out how to use it though. I usually just go for gtkpod. So this question, in case anyone had any doubts after reading everything below, *is purely about gnupod syntax*.
Recently I decided to get my ipod replaced under this replacement scheme. (I don't like proprietary hardware, etc., but if someone is going to give me a brand new piece of hardware... for something that was originally a gift... hmm...)
Anyway, long story short, I backed up my old ipod using dd:
dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=ipodbk
and just tried running gtkpod (with ipodbk mounted as
-t vfat -o loop
) to see if it would pick it up, like it does when an ipod is attached, which it does.
But this question is not about that.
I don't want to waste time with gtkpod's bugginess when it comes to exporting an entire ipod's files (tried it before. ended up with a lot of 0 byte files... no thanks).
I just want to be able to export all the tracks from the disk image in one go.
The command probably looks something like
gnupod_something (some switches) -m /home/user/ipodbkmount/ (some stuff?)
and the output probably looks something like
(window flooded with 1000 lines of text)
but I've never really been able to get gnupod
to work. I'm sure it's a great program, and I have to usually invoke it as gnupod_check -m ipod --fixit
once in a while when gtkpod
loses track of what it's doing and makes errors when it writes files to the device. As for gnupod
, I'm just not intelligent enough to figure out its syntax on the more routine ipod manipulations, I think.
So, yeah, what's that command?
