Hi Ted,

i dont know if u use KDE and neither do i know if it was an iPod touch 2G, I assume both in this post.



U can use amarok.

http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod



as u can see from the compatibility list there, it doesnt work our of the box for the newer ones, but there seem to be workarounds as:

P.S. Gtkpod, as mentioned before, is worth a try too and may be less of a pain to get to run.

Beside all the good advice you got, you may also find interesthing this

I still fail to see what people find exciting in Apple devices. Yes, they
look nice but they're also even more closed than any MS product >:-)

It must be their price. In our profit-centered culture, anything overly
expensive seems to instantly achieve a magical aura and a high
perceived value, be it a rolex, a ferrari, or a high-maintenance lady.

fyi, i was wrong - there is a 'real good answer for linux'. i just had
a friend with an iphone plug into a straight ubuntu 10.10 computer
with rythmbox and it asked if i wanted to open it with rythmbox and we
uploaded a song. i think the device had to rebuild the song library
after because it took a minute to load up the player, but nothing was
lost and it was really only a minute or so for 15 gigs of music.

Sorry if I am too late.

I once tried to connect a friend´s ipod to rhythmbox on Debian
Lenny.



The behavior was really buggy. I managed to download only some of
the songs to the computer.

And after unmounting, the ipod was showing as empty. Even though
when remounted to the computer, rhythmbox was showing all music
library.



I didn´t manage to restore the ipod to its original state but then
I was told that with some windows software, the ipod recovered,
showing the music library, and without any data loss.



I would be careful...

IIRC, there is no real good answer for linux. I think rythmbox has some

you're not really going to be able to keep your music synced up. If your

Yes, but I must give the devil his due. While I have no intention of
using the gadget as an mp3 player - my Sundisk Sansa plays both mp3 and
ogg - what the designers have crammed into this little package is truly
impressive. Wi-Fi, send and receive email, camera with zoom and the
pictures can be emailed to my computer (my cell phone charges for that),
motion and position sensors (the Star Walk app shifts the view of the
night sky as you point the device at different stars), etc.

If it had been my money I would have bought an Android device but I
can't look this gift horse in the mouth.
