I contributed some $ to the iPodLinux project to encourage them to port iPodLinux to the Generation 4 version. It already runs on G1, G2 and G3 devices. If you have a Mini or a G4, consider donating, too. Click on the donate link on this page. Don’t let the non-english verbage on the PayPal.com donation page scare you. “Zahlung für:” is asking what the payment is for(donation), “Betrag:” is asking how many Euros you want to donate. One dollar is currently .77 Euros, according to PayPal.

The genre issue is a real pain. Adam touched on it in one of his podcasts, suggesting that everyone change the genre of their podcasts to “podcast”. Until that happens, I’ve created a smart playlist in iTunes that matches on genres of “podcast”, “spoken word”, “speech”, “books and spoken”, “audiobooks”, and blank.
