The iPod Funda

If you've ever noticed, whenever you connect your iPod to your system, it always comes up as a 'removable storage media'.

If you're curious enough to explore your iPod (in my case, an iPod mini), you'll find a bunch of directories in it, namely 'Contacts', 'Calender', 'Notes'... etc

What we need is the 'iPod_Control' directory which is hidden by default. On opening up this directory, we get to see yet another bunch of hidden sub-directories.

Open up the directory labeled 'Music', and you'll find folders named as 'F01', 'F02'... and so on. Now, when you open up any one of these folders, you'll find your songs and podcasts, all having their original extensions and file sizes. The only thing different would be their naming (whose funda, till now, i haven't been able to figure out)
Anyway, what u need 2 do is to rename the file u want 2 replace with the name of an existing file.

On checking up your iPod, you'll find the new file playing under the artist name and title of the file dt you've replaced.  
It'll even have d same time as d original track.

Dis way, u can trade ur songs nd podcasts wid ur friends widout gettng ur iPod formatted everytime. :-D

Till Next Time
