If I remember rightly, you can't use a mac-formatted ipod but need a

back so I could easily be wrong, someone please correct me...
It's fat32 now.
So this is funny. I booted winxp, installed itunes, reformatted the
pod as fat32. Then I rebooted back into puredyne, installed rhythmbox
and plugged in the pod. Nothing. Then I suspended the session, had
some pan-fried Chinese dumplings for lunch, came back and plugged the
pod in again - and it works!
From this, I must conclude that the secret is all in the dumplings.
Homemade preferably - none of that frozen tat.
To close the loop on this (for future list-archive searchers):
I couldn't get rhythmbox to recognize the ipod. I ended up installing
exaile from synaptic with its ipod plugin (I also needed to enable the
ipod plug in exaile > preferences > plugins).
It wouldn't play m4a's until I installed gstreamer ffmpeg and gstreamer
good/bad/ugly. After that, Philip Glass's Music in Twelve Parts (part 1)
came streaming out. :)
It's all working now.
