I have an iPod Classic, and it's full of duplicates and it's a complete mess and would like to start anew, and I was curious if there was a way to restore an iPod like you could under Windows/Mac?

While Banshee and amaroK offer the possibilty to load songs onto the iPod there is, as far as I know, no option to restore or format these things. However: The iPod Touch has a restore function in the settings menu and I think my iPod classic had one of those too. I can't check anymore though, since it's been broken for some time. If it's really just about getting rid of the duplicate songs you could just delete those with any of the mentioned linux programs. |

Try using Banshee media player, it might be able to do what you are looking for. Optionally you could install itunes using playonlinux (it's in the software center). |

While I do not believe there is an option to format or F-Disk your iPod so to speak you can delete all the songs etc off of it using Banshee or Rhythmbox. Also, your iPod should have a Reset option in it's settings menu but I'm not so sure as to that or not. But you should be able to erase all the song data off of it using Banshee :) |
