I use this one to workout and need hopping tunes to keep my miles time down. If you have an iPod that refuses to be recognized here is the fix:</p> <ol> <li>Connect iPod</li> <li>Open terminal</li> <li>cd /Volumes/$IPOD_NAME where IPOD_NAME is obviously the name of your iPod visible on the desktop</li> <li>rm -rf /Volumes/$IPOD_NAME/iPod_Control</li> <li>Restart Songbird</li> </ol> <p>Done!</p>https://geekyschmidt.com/2006/06/09/sansa-e260-and-linux/Fri, 09 Jun 2006 11:14:36 +0000https://geekyschmidt.com/2006/06/09/sansa-e260-and-linux/<p>I broke down and purchased a new MP3 player after the trusty iPod Mini bit the dust.
