##Tips and Tricks
##### Disable trash for IPod
To avoid that linux moves deleted files into trash you can create an empty file `.Trash-1000`.
This forces linux to delete the files permanently instead of moving them to the trash.
Of course you can also use `shift + delete` to permanently delete files without this trick.
##### Use Rythmbox to manage your music and playlists
As described [in the blog post](https://nims11.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/ipod-shuffle-4g-under-linux/)
you can use Rythmbox to sync your personal music library to your IPod
but still make use of the additional features this script provides (such as voiceover).
Simply place a file called `.is_audio_player` into the root directory of your IPod and add the following content:
```
name="Name's IPOD"
audio_folders=iPod_Control/Music/
```
Now disable the IPod plugin of Rhythmbox and enable the MTP plugin instead.
You can use Rythmbox now to generate playlists and sync them to your IPod.
The script will recognize the .pls playlists and generate a proper iTunesSD file.
##### Carry the script with your IPod
If you want to use this script on different computers it makes sense
to simply copy the script into the IPod's root directory.
