rythmbox with iPod 5G

[Didier BRUGAT]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Release : Ubuntu 9.10

When I upload music files on my iPod 5G with RythmBox, I don't see the musics on my iPod ...
The memory decreased and I can see the files on my system like this :
$ pwd
/media/IPOD/iPod_Control/Music/f47
$ ls -l
total 3616
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3686863 2009-12-26 23:40 Jena Lee - J'aimerais Te~ZP.mp3

But, when I disconnect my iPod, 0 music is displayed ...
(It's the same thing with gtkpod)

Is my iPod too recent for RythmBox or other software on UBUNTU ?

Thanks for your response.

Please confirm: is this an iPod classic 5G (which is supported by libgpod), or an iPod nano 5G (which isn't, yet)?

This is an iPod nano 5G ...
Thanks
