I have been managing my iPod on Mandriva with Banshee software, no problems until the other day<br><br>the iPod shows up twice in the 'devices plugged in' widget and will not show up in Dolphin file manager until a couple of attempts have been made<br>
<br>on looking in the ipod_control folder I have discovered the iTunesDB contents have been erased, so although the music files are still there (24Gb of them) nothing will read them and of course the iPod will not play anything because it thinks there are no tracks on it!!<br>
<br>is there any way of rebuilding the iTunesDB so that I don't have to restore it and start my music collection all over again?<br><br>I have posted on various iPod and the Banshee forums, but have had no advice over the last few days<br>
<br>thanks<br><br>Steve Redshaw<br>
