After a quick analysis of the situation, it seems that we can break down the
iPod task in 3 phases :
1) Mount the iPod as a FAT32 hard drive, the same way we can do it on Linux and
XP
2) Write some classes to access the iTunes DB (there's some cool C libs on
Linux already)
3 a) Find and Implement the hack for the version 1 of the iTunesDB checksum.
3 b) Figure out the checksum issue for recent iPhone 2.0 / iPod Touch ( v2, not
hacked yet ! Open issue !)
Phase 2) does not seem to have any pitfalls to get through, so I will first
focus on Phase 1)
Personnally, my iPod 8 GB has no checksum protection, so I will not be able to
work on this phase for now.
Regarding Phase 1), any clue's welcome.
