iPod nano

Ordered a black nano, what seems like ages ago (14’th). My initial reaction when i saw it was ‘I want a black one’, and that seems to have been everyone else’s reaction too. It’s sold out. Everywhere.
Well, while pining for my iPod, i’ve collected a few useful tools:

  1. gtkpod to upload the music
  2. faac to encode music to .m4a (aac). While there is a pre-built package to ‘yum’ for FC4, it doesn’t have support for MPEG4, so I had to build one myself.
  3. xmms with aac-plugin to listen to iTunes compatible songs (actually seems to be default for gtkpod)
  4. tagtool doesn’t tag MPEG4 files yet, but maybe I’ll add it!

I’ve also ripped a few favourite funk-albums (Bar Kays) and some not-so-funky “best-of”.

Still pining
