podLoader allows you to load content from the Web or other desktop files onto your iPod. Later, for example while traveling, you can check out news from any RSS feed, the weather, or the contents of any file from your desktop.
This application uses the "Notes" feature on third-generation or later touch wheel iPods.
Usage:
In Brief:
- Run podLoadr by double-clicking on podloadr.jar after installing the JRE (or run java -jar podloadr.jar from a command prompt)
- Drag & drop files or links onto the "Files & Links" tab. Browsing or manually typing the file name also works.
- Check some news feeds, add weather zip codes and create a notes on their respective tabs.
- Click the run button (ensure that the iPod is connected and enabled in disk mode).
In Detail:
- In order to load a web page or news feed simply do the following:
- Ensure that your iPod is enabled for disk use. To do this in iTunes:
- Select your iPod under Devices in the Source list.
- Click the Summary tab.
- In the Options section of the Summary pane, click the "Enable disk use" checkbox.
- Note that if the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option is enabled, "Enable disk use" is always enabled or turned on.
- Connect your iPod to your computer as you usually do.
- Exit iTunes - just to be safe.
- Ensure that you have a recent version of the Java runtime (either JDK or JRE) from Sun.
- Run podLoadr by double clicking on podLoadr.jar. Alternatively you can open a command prompt and type java -jar podLoadr.jar
- Note that podLoadr.jar itself can be stored on the ipod and run directly from there. Keep podLoadr.jar and podLoadr.ini together.
- Populate the various tabs in podLoadr.
- Add your custom items to the "Files & Links" tab. This can be done in any of the following ways.
- Drag a file from your desktop or Explorer onto the list
- Drag a link from Internet Explorer or Firefox onto the list (by grabbing the icon in the address box)
- Type the full name of a file in the Name box and click on add
- Click on "Add/Browse" and navigate to the file you need and add it to the list.
- Check off the news feeds that you want from the categorized list.
- Enter the ZIP codes of the weather you want separated by commas.
- Double check the ipod tab to ensure that the drive letter is correct. Or if you have multiple iPods then you can change this setting. (If thats too confusing feel free to send the other iPod my way :-)
To view the note, disconnect your iPod, scroll the menu to Extras, and select Notes. Choose the name the file you created and press the Center button to display the content of the file. You can.t edit the file using iPod, but you can delete it or update it whenever your iPod is connected to your computer.
podLoader uses the "Notes" feature of the iPod to support downloading and offline viewing of online content. Such presentations can be used, for example, as directed lessons or self-paced electronic guided tours. Notes is available on iPod models beginning with third-generation iPod (dock connector) models with the touch wheel.

Piddlepodder is a podcatching client. It imitates the simplicity of bashpodder with a few added features.

PiddlePodder downloads podcasts from a list of XML feeds and puts them into a download directory by date.

No effort is made to copy the resulting files to an iPod, nor will this application interface with a directory, since its just a simple podcatcher.

Piddlepodder offers the ability to mark the set of podcasts as current (catch up). This is handy for first-time users who would otherwise be stuck downloading every show (sometimes since the beginning of the podcast) which can lead to hefty download times and large amounts of disk space.

PiddlePodder owes a debt of gratitude to PerlPodder, the code of which drives the XML parsing in PiddlePodder. Thanks to Sam Versluys et. al for creating PerlPodder.

ipod-sharp is a library for interacting with Apple iPod devices, specifically the song database.

ipod-sharp relies on libipoddevice.

ipod-sharp is a library that allows manipulation of the iTunesDB used in Apple iPod devices. Currently it supports adding/removing songs and manipulating playlists.

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
