Hi Thomas,
Here's the strange thing: when selecting my iPod model in gtkpod, the Touch
models are marked as 'read-only'. However, my Touch is mounted in read/write
mode for all users. I have installed both libgpod v0.6.0 and v0.4.2 (both
DEB packages; libgpod3 and libgpod1 respectively) but I'll try compiling
v0.6.0 from its source in case it would have made a difference. I'll look
into this as soon as I finish migrating my iPod library to my Touch. I'll
get back to you in a few days or so.
Pieter
