NAME

fusepod - iPod virtual filesystem

SYNOPSIS

fusepod [ options ] mountpoint

DESCRIPTION

FUSEPod is a userspace virtual filesystem which mounts your iPod into a directory for easy browsing of your songs on your iPod.

USAGE

To mount your ipod type at the console:

fusepod mount_to

If FUSEPod fails to find your iPod you can specify the iPod's mountpoint through the environment variable IPOD_DIR. Note that the iPod must already be mounted so that you can read it.

For example, say my iPod is mounted at /media/IPOD and I want to mount the FUSEPod layer at /home/keegan/ipod

You would enter at the console:

IPOD_DIR="/media/IPOD" fusepod /home/keegan/ipod

You can also create the necessary files and directories for your iPod to work. FUSEPod will prompt you if you specify IPOD_DIR which does not have the necessary structure.

To unmount FUSEPod type at the console:

fusermount -u mounted_to

To add songs copy them too

[mounted_to]/Transfer

Or add the absolute path of the song to the file

[mounted_to]/add_songs

You can also add files and recusrively add directories through

[mounted_to]/add_files.sh [ files/directories ] ...

And then to sync the database and copy the files run

[mounted_to]/sync_ipod.sh [ -watch ]

You can the view all the songs that will be added to the iPod by viewing the files in the Transfer directory and the songs in the file add_songs.

If you are happy with the contents of add_songs and the Transfer directory you can run the command:

./sync_ipod.sh
