ipap - Audio Mgmt utility for the Intel Personal Audio Player 3000

Intel is no longer producing these players. It's a shame, because I really like like mine. When I purchased it, using it under Linux was not a concern. One day I decided to look for Linux software for it but couldn't find any. I did find a sourceforge project for the Intel Pocket Concert, but not the PAP 3000. I found sniff usb and decided to investigate writing the software myself. Here's the result!

Requirements:

• A working C compiler (like GCC)
• Linux kernel >= 2.2.18, 2.4.x (with usb support)
• working usb subsystem
• libusb >= 0.1.4 (compiled and installed)
• an Intel Personal Audio Player 3000™ of course :)
• a working and mounted usbdevfs
• (i386) architecture only (portability will be later)

This software was tested on an Sony Vaio Laptop with kernel 2.2.18, 2.2.20 and 2.4.17 with libusb version 0.1.5 (Debian woody). libusb 0.1.4 should work but has not been tested.

Features:

• View the current list of tracks on the player.
• Modify the play order of tracks.
• See the amount of room left on the player.
• Remove individual tracks.
• Remove ALL tracks.
• Add tracks to the player (mp3 only)
