goPod project allows you to remove the EU Volume limitation from 3rd and 4th generation iPods, and iPod minis.

goPod is a command line program that allows you to remove the EU Volume limitation on EU iPods.

We cant be held responsible for the use you make with this program or any damage it could cause to you iPod.

It is provided for information purpose only. Moreover, uncapping your iPod and using it is illegal in France.

Usage:

To apply the tweak, you may have to launch your iPod in HDD mode. To do so, in iTunes, select your iPod and click on the disk icon on the lower-right part of the iTunes window.

Launch goPod. Just click go to cap it/uncap your iPod. If it is not detected, clicking go will make goPod trying to detect it again.

JUST CLICK ON GO ONCE, it may take some time (5 seconds). I know its a bit "slow", but this is for compatibility reasons.

Once your iPod is capped/uncapped, you *may* have to restart it. To do so, press the menu button and the central button during 3 seconds if you are using a 4G iPod or the menu and play buttons if you have a 3G until you can see an apple.

This reboot should be automatic.

This script syncs a local directory with your iPod. If the directory is larger than the space on your iPod you can sync this larger directory with a master playlist. As alternative you can sync just a bunch of playlists.
By typing "SyncPOD" the sync is done ... nothing more nothing less. Configuration is done with a config file ("~/.ipod/config").
You need a FAT32 iPod, Linux with IEEE1394 harddisks support (*BSD may work too) and Perl5 to do that.
Everything is done in Perl, not just a C wrapper. Nothing is OS specific. The iPod needs to be mounted somewhere, if you can manage that, you have won...
Version restrictions:
- This is a one-way sync to your iPod, which means files are deleted from the drive if they dont exist in the syncdir or playlists.
- Your MP3 files have to be uniquely named, even if they are in subdirectories.
- Some characters in the MP3 names are not possible: "?" is one of them. (FAT32 problem ?)
- The master playlist has to point to files within your SYNCDIR.
