Hi all,

I would like to create a piece of code that would enable me to transfer i file from a directory to a iPod.

I would wanna do it without engaging iTunes - but i wonder if this is at all possible???

the iTouch cannot be mounted as a drive, but the older ones could

From the user manual






To enable iPod classic as an external disk:



1


In iTunes, select iPod classic in the source list and click the Summary tab.





2



In the Options section, select “Enable disk use.”





3



Click Apply.




When you use iPod classic as an external disk, the iPod classic disk icon appears on the

desktop on Mac, or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer on a Windows

PC.





Note:



Clicking Summary and selecting “Manually manage music and videos” in the



Options section also enables iPod classic to be used as an external disk. Drag files to
and from iPod classic to copy them.
If you use iPod classic primarily as a disk, you might want to keep iTunes from opening
automatically when you connect iPod classic to your computer.





Then you can drag and drop, or use it as a destination drive for VBA copy, etc.
