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.

      I’ve mixed feeling about that firmware, on paper it looks great but then there are annoyances here and there such as the stuff around the boot.

    It’s not for everyone, but if “collection of perl scripts” sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.
