iPod database error
-
Hi,
I am having trouble using strawberry to sync my iPod (classic, gen 5). It worked previously so I bought some more music yesterday and booted up strawberry today, imported the songs and connected my iPod.
However when I tried to open the device, I got an error that said 'An error occurred loading the iTunes database'. So I tried to use Rhythmbox since I have had luck using that to re-sync a different iPod (Nano, gen 3), but that opened and said there was no songs on the device. I tried to reformat it, only to get an error saying that it can't be done. I ejected the device to find that all my songs and to-go playlists were still there. Then I tried to update my laptop and restarted it, just in case that was part of the problem. But when I booted up strawberry and tried to open the iPod, I got the same error.
I am using Linux Mint 22.3 and I was using that OS when I first synced this iPod.
Does anyone have any advice?(I do also have strawberry installed on my desktop but that uses Bazzite so I'm struggling to find a way to install it with libgpod compiled in the files though I did try to connect my iPod to it today when the problems started, just on the off chance. And I had no luck with that.)
