I can mount it from the command line: 'mount /dev/sdc /mnt/ipod'. But then<br>
Amarok says it couldn't get a lock on it or something. There's no<br>
lock file on the iPod.<br>

You can obtain a UUID for your ipod with "sudo blkid /dev/sdc". vol_id also works. Alternatively, you can use LABEL=volume_label_of_vfat_partition instead of the UUID.<br>
