This tutorial will take you through the steps to use Amarok as your iPod manager.

1. When you plug your iPod into your computer, Rhythmbox will launch by default. Close it down, and open Amarok. Select Settings from the top menu and then Configure Amarok… from the drop-down list.

Select Media Devices from the left column. In the Media Devices: section select Apple iPod Media Device from the Plugin: drop-down. Click Apply and then OK.

Back in Amarok click the Devices tab from the left column (if it isn’t already displayed).

To add files to your iPod, drag some from your collection to the iPod list. They’ll appear in a Transfer Queue window.

Click the Transfer button from the top menu and the files will be loaded onto your iPod.
