I think one is a 5th gen and one is a 6th gen. The 6th gen is almost unused as I found I could not use RockBox on it at the time, so I mostly used the 5th gen to be able to play FLAC. I'm willing to help keeping the library and gtkpod alive. It would be a shame if the library and gtkpod was dropped from distros. Firstly we should fix the webpages. http://www.gtkpod.org/libgpod/ is up but has a lot of broken links, I think it has been like that for years. I'm willing to do it we someone could can get the contact details of the owner. I suggest moving the git repositories to GitHub which has a larger community, it would be easier to get contributions that way. I can help with the transition. I can also help making sure it still compiles and works so it doesn't get dropped, occasionally making a bug fix release. My username on sourceforge is jonasio, my username on GitHub and GitLab is jonaski. Let me know what you think.

If someone doesn't fix the database error, it seem likely that Gentoo will drop the package. I've been unsuccessfully trying to get it to compile with gcc-10, which is another issue that will affect an increasing number of distros.
