+
+Upload music to an **iPod nano 6G/7G** without iTunes/Apple Music — straight from
+the terminal, on macOS and Linux. The iPod mounts as a plain volume; `ipodsync`
+edits its SQLite library, signs it (hashAB) and **generates cover art itself**.
+
+> ⚠️ Alpha. Works on real hardware, but it writes to the player's binary database.
+> **Keep backups** (the tool makes one before every edit) and don't open this iPod
+> in iTunes.
+
+## Features
+
+- `list` / `export` — inspect and download tracks from the device (with tags).
+- `add` — upload an MP3, metadata from tags, **cover art attached automatically**
+  (from an embedded APIC/covr): shown both in Now Playing and in list/Albums views.
+- `rm` — remove a track (+file), re-sign.
+- playlists — `playlists` / `pl-create` / `pl-add` / `pl-rm` / `pl-del`.
+- `cover` — attach a cover to an already-uploaded track.
+- works on an **empty (wiped) library** too — no iTunes needed to initialize it.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pipx install ipodsync      # recommended (isolated), or: pip install ipodsync
+```
+
+Requires Python ≥ 3.9. Pure-Python — no compiler or native library needed.
+
+> Note: uploading currently supports **MP3 only**. FLAC/AAC → ALAC transcoding
+> (which will need `ffmpeg`) is on the roadmap and not implemented yet.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+ipodsync status                     # ready / no access / not connected
+ipodsync list
+ipodsync add "Song.mp3"             # + cover auto
+ipodsync add "Song.mp3" --no-cover
+ipodsync export ~/Music/ipod --by-album
+ipodsync cover 123456789 --image cover.jpg
+ipodsync rm 123456789 --delete-file
+```
+
+The iPod is discovered under `/Volumes` (macOS) and `/media`, `/run/media`, `/mnt`
+(Linux) by the presence of `iPod_Control/`. To point at it explicitly, set
+`IPODSYNC_MOUNT=/path/to/mount`.
+
+## How it works
+
+- **Transport** — mass storage: files are written under `iPod_Control/`.
+- **Database** — SQLite `iTunes Library.itlp/*.itdb` (not `iTunesCDB`, which the
+  device regenerates on its own). Only `Locations.itdb` is hash-protected (`.cbk`).
+- **hashAB** — anti-tamper `.cbk` signature (white-box AES). **Pure-Python** port of
+  [dstaley/hashab](https://github.com/dstaley/hashab) (public domain), 100/100 test
+  vectors. No compiler or native lib — the package installs everywhere.
+- **Cover art** — pure-Python writer for `ArtworkDB` + `F<fmt>_1.ithmb` (RGB565 LE,
+  formats 1010/1013/1015/1016), appended incrementally.
+
+## Status / roadmap
+
+| | Status |
+|---|---|
+| Upload / remove / export / playlists (MP3) | ✅ confirmed on nano 7G |
+| Cover art (pure-Python) | ✅ confirmed on nano 7G |
+| Empty-library bootstrap | ✅ |
+| **Pure-Python hashAB** (no native lib, installs everywhere) | ✅ 100/100 vectors |
+| Cross-platform device discovery (macOS + Linux) | ✅ |
+| FLAC/AAC → ALAC | ⬜ |
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+git clone … && cd ipodsync
+python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+pytest
+```
+
+## License
+
