Re: [SIGCHI] iPod ideas

[Dan Sledz <dsledz@xxxxxxxx>]

I've taken a brief look at the iPod and how it stores the files.  It is 
non trivial to edit that file as they have some kind of hash at the end 
of each entry to make sure it is valid or something else stupid that 
I'm missing.  I'll look into more tonight and report back.  Either way, 
it we don't get a nice xml file to edit.

I'll post a transcript of the panel project sometime today.
