Sorry about the many abbreviations here – I promise to switch back to science with the next blog entry. When I had to install iTunes last year on our home network, I thought that I do not want an own iPOd in particular as it was impossible to mount it as a local drive in my favorite file manager (Total Commander). Only today I discovered that there is now a working (!) plugin that allows to view the iPOD directory in a TC window which makes podcast and music copy a snap, yea, yea. Oh, you want the link for the plugin? Here is it. It is now even the third file system plugin after sFTP and winCE.
Thank you for your reference. Do you know http://totalcmd.net?
many thanks for sharing this with us.
