slackware 10.2 and iPod

android6011 · 11-03-2005, 09:00 AM

I have a Windows formatted iPod, and want a program that I can add songs to it. Also I would like to be able to play songs from it. Is it possible with Slackware 10.2? Not a big deal if its not, it would just be nice to do.

Yes.
LQ even has a how-to on the subject, if you'd bothered to look...

Seems you'll have to use multiple programs to make it work. gnupod is a bunch of perl scripts that actually do the business, but you may want something a bit more point and click. gtkpod seems to be the answer to that.

I don't actually have an iPod, so I can't help you beyond pointing you to Google.

do a google search for ipod in kde and ipod in linux. There are several programs that pupport to act like itunes now for linux. In gnome there is rthymbox and 2 versions of gtkpod that allow playing from ipod. SLW 10.2 doesnt come with gnome but it can be added and thus give u gtkpod/rthymbox. Have fun.

google-ipod on linux kde will give u leads. Amarok 1.3 i believe will play music from ipod with gstreamer0.8-faad FAAC.
There is mention of SharpMusique @http://www.nano.crew.net/software/sharpmusique. There is mention of kpod project. Breezy Badger has progran for ipod. There are some entries in LQ also re ipod. Do a search. Again if gtkpod-aac can be setup with all the depencies it can work in kde. Maybe XFCE will run gtkpod and rthymbox. Good luck.
