NAME
       fusepod - iPod virtual filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       fusepod [ options ] mountpoint

DESCRIPTION
       FUSEPod is a userspace virtual filesystem which mounts your iPod	into a
       directory for easy browsing of your songs on your iPod.

USAGE
       To mount	your ipod type at the console:
	      fusepod mount_to

       If  FUSEPod  fails  to find your	iPod you can specify the iPod's	mount-
       point through the environment variable IPOD_DIR.	 Note  that  the  iPod
       must already be mounted so that you can read it.

       For  example, say my iPod is mounted at /media/IPOD and I want to mount
       the FUSEPod layer at /home/keegan/ipod

       You would enter at the console:
	      IPOD_DIR="/media/IPOD" fusepod /home/keegan/ipod

       You can also create the necessary files and directories for  your  iPod
       to  work.   FUSEPod  will prompt	you if you specify IPOD_DIR which does
       not have	the necessary structure.

       To unmount FUSEPod type at the console:
	      fusermount -u mounted_to

       To add songs copy them too
	      [mounted_to]/Transfer

       Or add the absolute path	of the song to the file
	      [mounted_to]/add_songs

       You can also add	files and recusrively add directories through
	      [mounted_to]/add_files.sh	[ files/directories ] ...

       And then	to sync	the database and copy the files	run
	      [mounted_to]/sync_ipod.sh	[ -watch ]

       You can the view	all the	songs that will	be added to the	iPod by	 view-
       ing  the	 files	in  the	 Transfer  directory and the songs in the file
       add_songs.

       If you are happy	with the contents of add_songs and the Transfer	direc-
       tory you	can run	the command:
	      ./sync_ipod.sh
