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.

NAME
gnupod_addsong - upload music to the iPod SYNOPSIS
gnupod_addsong [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION
Upload Music to the iPod. This Version can read MP3 AAC/ALAC (no DRM) and PCM (aka .wav) files. It can even read FLAC files if Audio::FLAC is aviable and the --decode switch was used. (Note: The iPod can't play FLAC files, in this case, gnupod_addsong converts the FLAC files 'on-the-fly' using 'flac') --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit -m, --mount=DIRECTORY iPod mountpoint. Default is $IPOD_MOUNTPOINT -r, --restore Restore the iPod. Use this if your iPod is messed up. You will lose all playlists -d, --duplicate Allow duplicate files. Per default, gnupod_addsong checks for duplicate files.

You need the Perl modules 'Audio::FLAC::Header' for FLAC files and 'Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl' for OGG files. Lame is needed for MP3 Output and FAAC (>= 1.24) is needed for AAC output. Btw: 'aacbm' means a Bookmark-AAC File (M4B) See --reencode to specify the quality of the output file. -e, --reencode=INT Re-encode while adding Files. 0=God / 9=Bad Quality.
