Hummm… either #Apple must be very poor that it can't afford to port #iTunes to !GNU/ !Linux or #FOSS users are idi☹ts http://ur1.ca/8mq88

@metztli #Apple is afraid of open software. And really, we want this iTunes trash on Linux? I will *never* use it.

@dno CUPS is the only Apple product I use on my Linux system. Besides that, I don't even want iTunes on Linux either, it's worthless. Clementine for me, even if it means not being able to sync my iPod (oh well, no more Apple products next time)

@omni There are Linux-native ways to synch an iPod. Can't recall any off the top of my head since my iPod's battery died, but they exist.

@scribus If you remember them, please tell me, I'd love to know. Clementine should be able to sync but it simply does not work =/

@omni I'll see if I can find a lead. No promises, though.

@scribus Thanks!

@omni Oh, and there was something or another about having to manually browse the iPod's files and delete some kind of lock file, can't recall what it was or why I had to (other than to "make it work").

@scribus Huh, guess I should google that when I have time. Thanks for your help!

@omni No problemo. Hope it actually does prove to be helpful. One thing I definitely remember was that, whatever I actually did, it wasn't all that difficult.

@scribus Stuff on Linux is usually like that. "Ugh, that sounds so difficu- Oh, I'm already done?" :P

@omni Eeyup. XD

@omni I *think* Amarok might have worked for me, but several of the actual .aac files wouldn't work - only .mp3s did. And gtkpod seems familiar - I vaguely recall working with a program which only synched iPods, nothing else... But those are just things which came up on the Ubuntu documentation and seem to have struck a vague chord in the back of my mind...

@omni Yeah CUPS, and there's regularly drama over that one too.

@metztli That tutorial doesn't work for me. Never worked on Ubuntu, Debian or Arch Linux for me.
