The iPod is my new diversion. I started a project "dopi" to write an application that uses the iPod. So far, I can list all the files, read and print their ID3 v1.1 tags, play music from the iPod, copy data from the iPod to another filesystem, and write the ID3 v1.1. ID3 v1.1 data can be changed in place because the data is fixed length and offset. I can't write anything else because libhfsp doesn't support writing and there is no read/write filesystem driver for HFS+ in Linux.

I just wrote a stupid little program that ties everything together by walking through the iPod playing 200KiB at offset 400KiB from the beginning of every mpeg.

I don't think Tk is going to cut the mustard for the UI, so I am going to go off and read a tutorial on QT. C++ is evil, but GTK+ is more evil.

If you have an iPod and a suggestion please send it along.
