Hey folks,
So, I have an old school iPod I got from someone it’s sweet and I want to put my music on it. Is there a decent app in Linux that will be able to do the sync of music? Or is it able to be just copied to like an external drive?
Depending on how old the iPod is, you might have some luck installing rockbox firmware on it.
But, in any case, yes, moving your music over will functionally be as if copying it to an external drive.
Is it like a better software on the device than the stock one? I’m open to the idea if it’s fairly safe. Will take a look. Thanks.
Strawberry for music transfer and GPodder for podcasts works perfectly on my iPod Photo, although both of them do have slightly clunky interfaces that may take a bit to get used to. Rhythmbox also works great, although I haven’t been able to get it working on my current Arch setup yet.
I use Strawberry for mine.
