I just installed Songbird 64-bit and it craps out without starting
with some gstreamer error that the guys in #gstreamer couldn't figure
out. The 32-bit build of Songbird starts, however on trying to install
the extension to support ipods
<
http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/12> it says ""iPod Device
Support" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your
Songbird build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of
this item about the problem.".
So I can't test iPod support on it at the moment.
However, plugging in my ipod nano which is hfs+ formatted:-
