work with ipod in linux

Having changed the main axis from Windows to Ubuntu in due time, I was faced with such a problem that Apple does not release the version of itunes for Linux.

does not want - and God bless her, I thought, and decided to look for software from third-party developers.
and, by the way, absolutely no regrets, because many programs have been much nicer to communicate than itunes.

Actually, I want to introduce you to them.

1. Floola. www.floola.com
A small but very sensible softphone, weighs 16 meters and runs perfectly from a flash drive or from the ipod itself, therefore, it is indispensable for visiting guests. He doesn’t know how to work with the music library, and she don’t need to do that, but he can transfer files directly from the drag & drop folder, play tracks from the iPod and do repair.
is free, although it constantly asks to make it donate.
versions for linux, windows and macos are available.
of the shortcomings - I used to confuse the tracks, sometimes after its work I didn’t want to start the shuffle mode.
Now everything seems to be ok.

2. GTK Pod www.gtkpod.org
also a very nice thing to handle, a little more serious than floola, can add playlists, but can’t do repair. a couple of times crookedly poured music into my shuffle, but in general I worked quite well for myself.
versions for FreeBSD and Linux are available.

3. Amarok. amarok.kde.org/wiki/Main_Page
a wonderful, almost legendary, kdesh player for the whole zoo of all Linux and freebsd, able to work with iPods. convenient and functional thing, which, alas, mercilessly slows down on my old typewriter.

I will be glad to add and comments :)

upd 1: going in a regular delivery with the same ubuntoy rythmbox player also knows how to work with an iPod
upd 2: information for Ubuntu distribution users and ipod touch owners - help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
