Hiya,
There are various software tools available which provide a nice GUI
for accessing your music files on the iPod. Check versiontracker.
My personal choice is PodUtil:

Hope that helps.
Cheers, Matt.

probably more to do with a law suit settlement (or avoidance)
either with the recording industry re bootlegging or "Apple
Records" re their "use the name Apple but not for audio recording
equipment" agreement
Does any-one have a work around?
yes...
first off disclaimer - I do not own a belkin recorder so not
familiar with the naming convention of files created by it...
use something like Cocktail
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26516>
to show hidden items and navigate to the iPods music directory
//Volumes/Sumomo/iPod_Control/Music ("Sumomo" being the name of my
mini iPod)
you will have to manually find and copy the belkin created item as
search and spotlight do not seem to search inside these sub
directories
alternatively and not pretty at all but
go to terminal
type the full path to the iPods "hidden" music folders
then manually search the sub directories for the audio files
created by the Belkin then copy them to somewhere above the
"iPod_Control " or your main hard disk so they show up as visible.
alternatively you could script it with a unix find piped to a unix
copy (or direct the find to a file - open and edit it and then use
the file for a Unix copy) then run it through Tigers Automator to
run whenever the ipod mounts (probably)
