An Ipod System for Linux - Summary

At the moment, there is no iTunes-alike for Linux. There is no all-in-one program that will allow you to do everything that iTunes does. Therefore I attempted to develop a system that a non-technical person to use.

  1. Why iPods are fantastic, two reasons why iPods are crap and how to mess with an old iPod.
  2. We have an iPod, and Linux. So what now?
  3. Using Sound Juicer to squeeze out that music.
  4. Using gtkpod to manage your song library.
  5. Mounting the Ipod.
  6. Unmounting the iPod.
  7. The end-user instructions.

One thought on “An Ipod System for Linux - Summary”

  1. <p>My KDE system on Gentoo does a good job automatically mounting my HFS+ iPod
    under my user account (only because I'm in plugdev). Also as an alternative,
    Amarok does a great job handling all my library management (including
    podcasts) and transfers, regardless of where I choose to mount it. The only
    thing I think it doesn't do is the video transfer, which only just got
    implemented in libgpod. Then again, I don't know why I'd want to watch video
    on such a small screen anyway.</p>
    <p>This is a great guide though. I just broke down and replaced my dying iRiver
    H10 with an iPod and this was very useful in setting my system up. Thanks!</p>
