First of all you need to mount your ipod/iphone. It’s really simple, if you don’t know how just click here.
Ok, I want to advise that I tried this once and I could read my ipod music. If you don’t touch nothing, nothing happens, the problem was that I uploaded some song and then I had to restore the ipod, so try this as your own risk. If you fuck something you should be able to restore your ipod/iphone with no problems, but do this at your own risk.
You need to install Amarok 1.4. Newer versions of Amarok doesn’t support devices (at least yet). To install Amarok 1.4 first remove your other version if you have one installed:
sudo apt-get remove amarok
You can download Amarok for Jaunty from here. You also can find Amarok 1.4 easily in Google.
After you download Amarok look for a tab called “Devices”. Click in it and then click into add a new one. Choose the name you want, and select where your ipod/iphone is mounted – I’m sorry, I can’t install Amarok now and I don’t know the names exactly – and you also have to select to use the ipod profile (I think it was called profile).
Now you can see all the tracks of your ipod/iphone. You also should be able to play them with no problems and your device will work perfectly after this. The problem I had was when I try to upload a song, it looks like it works but then in the ipod/iphone the music library is broken and you have to restore it. I write this manual to let you know how to access to the ipod library and because maybe you are able to upload songs. Good luck! If you’ve tried it comment if this worked for you or not.
