Any way to “fake” an iPod
I have a problem. It is exactly the same as the problem in this forum post, namely (*entering blind cut and paste mode*) i have a rather large itunes collection that i keep on a network drive.
however, as well as my ipod, i would like to have a ‘local’ database library on my laptop.
i can use programs like itunes program manager and Libra, but i just don’t like them to be honest (although libra is much better than the former).
anyway…
i was thinking that since the ipod is just ‘thought’ of as an external disk (with some DRM and stuff), whether it would be possible to mount say, a DMG, AS an ipod on the mac…
that way, i could synchronise between the local powerbook dmg and my network share - just like having an ipod connected to my laptop… (*exit blind cut and paste mode*)
That was exactly my idea - some sort of local directory or disc image, or something, that appeared as an ipod, allowing me to sync my “recently added items” directly to my local machine, to take with me.
Annoyingly, nobody seems to have come up with a solution yet, but as I was learning this afternoon, it’s asking the right questions that is the important thing. Yeah!
