Hi,
I am using GNUpod with my iPod nano (3G) and I am very happy with it.
There is just one thing I am still missing (and currently trying to get
done): submit the songs played on the iPod to last.fm.
I have tried to use qtscrob[1], which tries to the ``iTunesDB'' and
``Play Count'' files in iPod_Control/iTunes. However, it fails, as I
don't have such a file on my iPod. I have seen that the GNUtunesDB.xml
also has some information that could possibly be used, ``playcount'',
``played_flag'' and ``lastplay''.
Now I am not sure where I should go from there. Should I try to get that
missing ``Play Count'' file on my iPod? Or I better try to parse the
GNUtunesDB.xml?
Some clarifications about how the play count data is handled would be
very helpful. I assume that the iPod device itself increases a play
counter in the iTunesDB file and also sets a timestamp there. What about
that ``Play Count'' file? Where should that come from? iTunes maybe?
And how and when does the information get from the iTunesDB to the
GNUtunesDB.xml - when mktunes is called?
How would I reset the play counts after I have submitted them?
Greetings,
Frank
