I have a new Motorola SLVR L7 phone, the itunes one. I can see the directory structure of the phone if I attach it via usb to my SuSE box. I see that the itunes files are staged as audio mp4's however the filename is not the same as the song name that shows up in the play list. I'd like to find a way to rip my CD's to audio mp4's and push it to the phone in a way that makes the itunes bit add it to the playlist correctly. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? Banshee and Amarok and GTKpod will all talk to iPods so I don't see why your

Banshee and Amarok come with suse 10.1 and GTKpod can be downloaded from Packman ( http://packman.links2linux.de/ ). I recommend grip for ripping CDs to MP3, which will work well on your ipod, Apple only use MP4s so they can add their nasty DRM. To rip to MP3 you will need to install Lame, also obtainable from Packman. -- David Bottrill david@bottrill.org www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet Free World Dialup: 683864

Yes, I also recommend ripping _music_ CD's to MP3.

The exception is audio books. I rip books to mp3 and then convert them to unprotected .m4b files. This allows the ipod to bookmark your current location whenever you stop listening. Very handy for audio books! - BS

MP4? Why don't you use .ogg instead? Much better sound quality, IMO. I pretty much rip everything to .ogg files these days. I'm using KAudioCreator right now to archive off a few dozen older CD's I don't listen to. I'm sending them to .flac for archival, then I'll move to .ogg for listening. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request

Unless you like ripping and re-ripping (or have rather limited disk space, in which case you should simply get more), a lossless compression format such as FLAC is advisable. Then you can produce device- or recording-specific (MP3, MP4, Ogg, etc.) files as needed without loss of audio quality.

I'd suggest gtkpod. I think it's on packman kevin.kempter@dataintellect.com wrote:
