That is true. Also sometimes gtkpod won't be able to fix the ipod and
the only solution is to restore it using itunes. This has nothing to
do with gpodder but I agree with you that it should be in the wiki. I
presume anyone should be able to modify the wiki hence you should be
able to add that if you want.
