[gentoo-user] amarok and non-Ipod

I got myself an iAudio X5 the other day. Wonderful sound, large disk, yeah
really like (until disk breaks).
Anyway - Amarok has a Ipod connection thingie which I haven't found how to
configure. Is it possible to get it to work with an iAudio.
I mounted the X5 and clicked "Connect" but amarok didn't find my X5 - so I
suppose it's looking for something specificly iPodish?

I have an M3, and my understanding is that all of iAudio's HDD players
should be mounted as an external harddrive via usb mass storage using
vfat, which I would suspect is quite a different beast from iPod. 

Personally I don't use Amarok. But if you are just trying to play
music off your X5, perhaps you can just mount it as an external
harddrive and point amarok to that mount point?

I suppose, I just thought it did something beautifull.

Actually, just mounting as a hard drive is beautiful!  Doesn't require
special or proprietary software.  Works with any tool that can access
a hard drive. 


Have fun,
