From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey Linux community. I have an ipod and I'm trying to put music on it. Itunes simply will not run and it won't recognise stuff I put on it through files. Is there any thing I can try/use? Information: Linux type: Linux Mint Cinnamon Ipod type: 1.1.2 PC, Ipod Nano, 7th Gen

Never had an iPod, so I can't really help you, but have you tried the arch wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPod

Thanks for your help. Sadly it doesn't help much for Linux Mint.

Other than the way you installed the packages there's nothing intrinsically arch on that wiki. I recommend you read the page and see if it helps before assuming it doesn't because you're using a different distro, arch wiki is great even if you don't use arch.

Hey mate, I did read through it and it was of no use to me. Thanks for your help.

Ah, sorry, your reply was 8 min after I sent the link which seemed awfully short to test the different approaches listed there, I assumed you hadn't read it and just discarded for being a different distro. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Man I love this place. So much less "Fuck you, ur dumb bc xyz" than reddit. Y'all are awesome.

All good.

What is the problem? I used rhythmbox for that ~15 years ago and it worked.

[–] muhyb 2 points 11 months ago

Rhythmbox or GTKpod don't work with iPod Nano 6 & 7.

Doesn't recognise my Ipod at all.
