Transferring music files to an iPod Touch on Natty

[Nigel Ridley]

Hi,

My boy just got an iPod Touch 4 generation and wants to be able to put some MP3's on it from his 
computer running a fresh updated install of Natty (11.4).
I have installed ifuse and can see the iPod when connected via USB.

So how do I move some music files to the device? I tried Amarok but trying to drag and drop 
doesn't work. At the moment he has no 'Music' folder on the iPod as he hasn't downloaded any 
songs from anywhere.

Strange thing is that the iPod doesn't show up as a removable device and I can't 'unmount' it. 
The same is true for his phone - a Samsung 3G model -- when he presses the 'Play Media' option it 
doesn't 'mount' but we can still see the music files and copy them to his computer. If he presses 
the 'Cellphone Memory' (sort of translated from Hebrew) then it is recognized as a usb mass 
storage device and can me 'unmounted'.

I only mentioned his cellphone issues as they seem to be similar to his iPod ones.

Any help appreciated.
