iPod: Operating System or iTunes reports the disk is full, but it does not look full

This document explains why iTunes or the operating system may indicate that the iPod disk is full when it doesn't look full. There is no available space on the iPod hard disk when it is used as an external FireWire or USB hard drive, yet the disk looks like it is empty or only has a few files on it. iTunes cannot copy any songs to iPod even though it says the music library is less then the iPod drive capacity.

SCROBBLE-CLI(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   SCROBBLE-CLI(1)

NAME
scrobble-cli - a last.fm submitter for portable devices SYNOPSIS
scrobble-cli [options] DESCRIPTION
scrobble-cli is a program to submit information about tracks which have been listened to from a portable music player to last.fm (previously known as Audioscrobbler). scrobble-cli can read this information from .scrobbler.log files (i.e. produced by the open Rockbox firmware), from iPod databases, or from devices that use MTP (aka Plays for Sure). In addition to this, scrobble-cli can adjust the date/time information relating to when the track was listened to before uploading. This can be useful if your device is set to a different timezone to the machine you upload from. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -c, --playcounts Remove the iPod "Play Counts" database file after submission. -d, --database Submit information from an iPod database (requires -l) -h, --help Show summary of options. -l, --location <path> Filesystem location of the .scrobbler.log file, or the iPod database. For .scrobbler.log this should be the path to, and including the file name. For iPods, this should normally be the mount point - (/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB is automatically appended to this path). -m, --mtp Submit from a MTP (aka Plays for Sure) device -n, --now Recalculates the times each track was played before submission. Automatically enabled if using a .scrobbler-timeless.log or MTP device. -p, --password <password> Last.fm account password -r, --recalc <datetime> Recalculates the play time for each track. <datetime> should be a UNIX timestamp. -t, --timestamp <offset> Override the detected system timezone offset from UTC <offset> is the number of hours from UTC, i.e. +3, -4.5 -u, --username <username> Last.fm account username -v, --verbose <level> Output verbosity level -w, --proxy_host <hostname> Proxy hostname or IP address (requires -x) -x, --proxy_port <port> Proxy port number (requires -w) -y, --proxy_user <username> Username for proxy authentication -z, --proxy_pass <password> Password for proxy authentication WWW
