[orca-list] transfering music to the i-pod with rhythmbox

[michael weaver <weavermicha googlemail com>]

i think i am going to have to give up on gtkpod for transfering 
files unless i can find out the model number for my i-pod.
if i want to move files from a cd, how do i select the cd in 
rhythmbox?
when i put a cd in, i don't hear orca announce any files or 
folders even though the cd spins so obviously i need to set 
something in order to be able to see the cd before i can copy any 
music across.
i looked in the preferences and there seemed to be something 
about setting the directory for the library or something but i 
don't know if i was looking in the right place in order to view 
the files on my cd.
can you just use nautilus to copy the files ie by going to 
computer icon, choose audio cd, select the files and paste them 
to the i-pod folder that way or won't that work?
