Hello 👋!
I'm currently attempting to sync music to my newly acquired iPod classic 6th Gen. Whenever I try to run a podkit sync, it fails due to no space available on iPod. I re-formatted, restored, reset the iPod multiple times, I tried also using Raspian OS instead of macOS 15.7.4 (Intel). They both turn out to deliver the same result. I additionally tried this with an iPod nano 3rd Gen, which also fails sync with "0 bytes available". Currently, the iPod classic is formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", I did try formatting via Widows and then syncing via Raspian OS - which turned to the same result so far.
I managed to sync some music to the iPod classic via Finder from my "Music"-App Library fine.
