Linux And I-pod.

[Richb2004v2]

I recently settled on using Ubuntu on my eeePC netbook. I am pleased to report that I am very happy with it. It does everything I need right now. I am not contemplating switching my other laptop to a Linux system. The only application I can think of that would stop me is i-tunes. I think that i-tunes works brilliantly with my i-pod and don't want to loose any of the features. I understand that 'Amarok' is highly recommended as an alternative. I wonder how comprehensive is it? Can I still download podcasts and the like?

Is anyone using their ipod with Linux, and if so how?

I use Amarok for my ipods. Works like a charm and there's no squawking about 'authorised' computers and crap. You can download podcasts from them web and put them on your ipod, but there's not itunes store features.....

amarok is king.

gtkpod works best for me find it in the synaptic package manager.

A simply copy and paste works with the default Rhythmbox on most Ubuntu releases to my ipod works perfect, but I also agree Amarok is fine too if not better.
