Ubuntu – How to copy music from ipod nano to computer (Banshee)

Apple doesn't like it if users use other software than iTunes to sync their iDevices.

Thus, they use a very specific directory and file naming system, which needs to be used, the iPod will ignore any files not matching the naming criteria.

However, there's a nice synching program called GtkPod, which implements this naming structure. You can install it from the software center or with the following command

sudo apt-get install gtkpod

Now you can start GtkPod and manage your iPod from this software.

1. Position the cursor at the beginning of the character from which you want to copy. Press Alt+Shift+A to set mark. ( Alternatively, set mark with Ctrl+6 )

2. Use arrow keys to highlight the text to copy.

3. Use Alt+Shift+6 to copy (Alternatively, Alt + 6 )

4. Navigate to the place you want to paste. Release paste with Ctrl+U

   

Where is reference to these keybindings

All of these are defined under the documentation, which you can access with Ctrl+G at any point. Note that leading ^ stands for Ctrl and M for Alt in the documentation, since this is traditional way of Unix defining meta characters. Lines from documentation:

^^ (M-A) Mark text starting from the cursor position

and

M-^ (M-6) Copy the current line and store it in the cutbuffer
