Is there an easy way to get the songs off the iPod under Linux? I had
ripped a ton of CDs and put them on my GF's iPod then the disk with
iTunes on it failed. I REALLY don't want to rip them all again - can I
use this method to turn the .m4as on the iPod into MP3s?

(Man I can't believe I wrote that in Apple-Caps)
