Description:
 iRiverH10 (v0.9.5)

About
   iriverh10 is an amarokscript to manage the
iRiver H-series digital audio player in USB mass
storage mode (UMS mode as opposed to MTP-mode)
from within amaroK. 
   The script is build around easyh10 and easypmp.
These are commandline utilities to generate the
media database and playlist for the iRiver
H-series digital audio player.
All actions on the device, that changes the
content, make reconstructing the database
necessary. This is done with easyh10 or easypmp.
The media database is reconstructed from the music
files and the playlist files converted into
PLP/PLA playlist files, which are recognized by
the H10 player.
Transferring MP3/WMA/WAV files into the music
directory and creating M3U/M3U8/PLS playlist files
under the playlist directory must be done manually
in advance. This is where amaroK comes in place.

Dependencies
   amaroK 1.3 or better.
   EasyH10 [CUI]
   or
   EasyPMP [POSIX] (pmplib)

Thanks to
   Credits should go to Mike Diehl and Kevin R.
Bulgrien, who wrote the amarokscripts
transfer_to_media_device and usb_device
respectively. They gave me the idea for this
script. But not after that I came across the
program I really was looking for: easyh10. Without
this program the writing of this script would be
of no use. easyh10 and easypmp are programs by
Nyaochi. Visit http://easyh10.sourceforge.net or
http://pmplib.sourceforge.net for more
information.

Changelog:
     0.9.5    2007-01-05
- Made Size available without a connected device
and rendered a change in the way it reports.
- Bugfix in updating the playlist after a delete.
- Reconstruct the amaroK-based playlist from the
device's contents.
- Synchronize files from the playlist to the
device, as an alternative for Transfer.
    0.9.4    2007-01-03
- The statusreport as given with the option Size
is now displayed as a popup message for various
relevant options.
- After deleting tracks from the device the
playlist was cleared. This was annoying and
therefore removed.
- After deleting tracks from the device the
corresponding entries in the playlist are removed
as well. This solves an earlier problem in the To
Do's.
    0.9.3    2006-09-05
-Some rearranging of the code.
-Improving dialogs.
-After purging the device the statusinformation
wasn't updated. Corrected.
-Updating the media-databases on the device after
a Transfer, Delete and Purge has been made
dependent on a configuration-setting.
-To be able to handle the H10jr. easypmp is
introduced. See Dependencies above.
-Corrected PlsCreate... to not only make use of
the devices tracklist, but essentially every
playlist in the playlistwindow.
    0.9.2    2006-03-25
-Create playlist PlsCreate and delete playlist
PlsDelete. Instead of using the
M3U-playlistfunction of amaroK, wich proved to be
rather difficult, I choose creating a pls-file in
the device's playlistdrectory.
-In case of Transfer and PlsCreate, check if the
selected tracks in the active playlist have the
right origin: the collection or the device
respectively.
-Devicetrapping was still a bit buggy.
    0.9.1    2006-03-12
-Introduction of progressbars for Transfer and
Delete
-Rewrite of the devicetrapping routine.
    0.9.0    2006-03-05
