The first attempt to add a song resulted in this error:

-- FATAL -- Could not copy /tmp/m.mp3 to
/mnt/ipod//iPod_Control/Music/F16/0_m.mp3: No such file or directory
... skipping
As a workaround, I copied the file manually to the iPod, and rebuilt the
database (losing the playlists.) After this, the iPod was able to see
the music files. Note the first copy uses "F04", while the second uses
"f04". The song used for testing is "Let's Dance", by David Bowie.
Note also that this iPod has never been connected to a Macintosh or
Windows system -- all files, directories and formatting was done with
GNU/Linux (specifically, RedHat Fedora 2.)
The problem with the addsong still exists, and I didn't take the time to
debug it yet.
