I used an ipod with amarok, and also with copying files over to it directly.
Now it just shows the disk full icon when I turn it on.
I have a testing/lenny system; I think this happened when testing was
pre-etch.
Right now I have
ii libgpod-common 0.4.2-0.1
ii libgpod0 0.4.0-0.3
ii libgpod1 0.4.2-0.1
