how do you load files? (sync ipod 5g w/itunes)

Llorean:
Have you set database to auto-update, or tried updating it manually or even reinitializing it (they should be tried in that order).

mc_365:
You cant sync with itunes to rockbox.

Boot your ipod in apple firmware.

Sync as you would before rockbox.

Disconnect.

Boot to apple firmware and check your files are as expected.

Reboot to rockbox and update tagcache / Database.

Reboot and put your iPod in Tag mode and you should see your music.

I didn't explain everything in baby steps and maybe they enhanced some stuff in the newest builds but if you don't get the jist you should read some more.

zacmobile:
wow, that's quite a convoluted process, :-\ being a noob i'd better read up some more.

Llorean:
That process is almost entirely unnecessary. Please answer my questions.

mc_365:
It goes realy fast to me.

Some of the reboot and update database steps may no longer be necessary becuase of bug fixes but it dosent hurt.

By far the longest part of the process for me was loading the songs.

Everything else takes like 5 min. combined.

But now I just drag and drop I don't even fool with iTunes, well never really used iTunes, I mean I don't load anything into the apple firmware.
