Install OpenSSH from Cydia Mount the iPod’s filesystem: mkdir -p ~/touch && sshfs -o allow_other root@192.168.1.7:/ ~/touch/ Then, in Amarok 2, go to the collection browser, and find all the songs that match your criteria (I use ratings): Highlight them [...]

Radiohead made an album recently, and you can buy it for however much you type in. I spent $5 on it, and downloaded it immediately. It made me feel good. It’s too bad more artists don’t do this.
