I've generally bought only cheapo mp3 players, and they come up as mass
storage devices. Completely messed up a little Wharfedale unit that I
got in Argos
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5135853/c_1/1|category_root|Limited+stock+clearance|15294700.htm
by unplugging it without unmounting first. Reformatting didn't help; I'd
repartition but the size seems to be wrongly reported to cfdisk.

But anyhow. The cheap devices mostly seem to work that way.

But my son has now bought himself a second-hand ipod. He mostly seems to
be able to get music on and off it by using Amarok, but there seems to
be no way of either seeing & deleting the videos that are on it, or
getting new videos on.

Anyone know of an app that can transfer videos to/from the iPod?
