This does not work for me. What distro are you on?
I made sure gnome-volume-manager, dbus and hal are installed. But when
I launch gtkpod I get:
'/media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not exist. Import
aborted.
In fact /media/ipod does not exist. If I create it and mount the thing
manually I get permissions errors.
How is this supposed to work? Is gnome-volume-manager supposed to
create the /media/ipod directory? Should it already exist? What are
the correct permissions?

Thanks! I was
under the impression it was harder. Isn't it impossible
under Windows without a specialized app to mount the partition with the
audio files and copy them to your hard drive? Was that just a silly
iTunes/driver restriction?

Actually it was a little easier than that for me since i have a complete
gnome2 instalation with dbus, hal and gvm (gnome-volume-manager). then
the iPod is automatcally mounted in /mount/ipod. all you have to do is
point gtkpod to it with its menu options and whalah. I even opted to
have gtkpod automaicaly open when the iPod is pluged in, and it unmounts
the iPod when i close it. and they say linux isn't user friendly. ;-)
( is it just me, or is gtkpod 10x faster than iTunes? )
