Does Apple's iPod Shuffle work with linux?

dr_zayus69 · 03-23-2005, 08:06 AM

im thinking of getting an iPod Shuffle and my main box is linux. I have read of people successfully getting the iPod to work in linux. Has anyone used an iPod Shuffle in linux? I didn't know if the shuffle and iPod were similar enough that i could safely assume that the shuffle would be compatible. Any responses would be appreciated. thanks.

Word is that they use the standard USB filesystem, in which case, you should have no problems pulling this off.

Works for me in SuSE 9.2 and from what I hear, there's even more support for it coming in the next version of SuSE. I haven't tried this in any other distro yet..

Can anyone tell me how to install the program that will work with the Ipod shuffle? Can you tell me what rpm to install and how to install it? What I will need to install on Fedora Core 3?I need a program that will sync with the Ipod shuffle on Fedora Core 3?
