It's itunes-only until someone reverse engineers their new protocol. AFAIK (the times I've looked), all the linux ipod managers mount the ipod as mass-storage and manipulate the database. The touch no longer offers mass storage as an option, they'll have to write their own device drivers to talk the new protocol. They were working on it, I haven't heard of it being done. And correct, it has to be plugged into itunes first, i don't know any way around this. Hope you have windows/mac handy somewhere, they really made it impossible to use without their stuff. -m -- Mike Kershaw/Dragorn <[email protected]> GPG Fingerprint: 3546 89DF 3C9D ED80 3381 A661 D7B2 8822 738B BDB1 George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. -- Chuck Palahniuk
