Richb2004v2 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_boo Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joncl Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
