Also checking in for any status.

I have iTunes 7 running via Wine in Karmic Koala, but it can’t see the iPod although it’s mounted and visible/accessible outside iTunes.

One of the users above articulates properly why I’m not using any of the open source alternatives to iTunes – yes they’re functional, but I really like having the *correct* album covers sync’d to the albums/songs.

My solution for the time being under Karmic is iTunes via Sun VirtualBox XP session, so looking forward to a complete Linux/Ubuntu solution.

Hi! Any other news from this project? I really need something to sync my iPod touch with linux since I want to free some disk space currently used from VirtualBox to virtualize windows xp. I use it only for iTunes (and even in VBox there are problems with syncronization…)

Please solve this problem for all of us. I really love my iPod touch, but not being able to sync it with anything is a big problem and if apple thinks that I’m going to drop with linux just because I cannot easily use my iPod with it well, I’m going to sell my ipod touch today.

So… what is wrong with Apple!!! Why the hell don’t they just join the Ubuntu party. My laptop is Ubuntu 8.10 but I’ve kept Windows ShitP on my desktop simply because apple suckered me with the awesome iPods. And now iTunes 8 is overpowering my shit desktop — it was supposed to run at 2.4 mgz but barely runs over 1 — iTunes makes it hard for it to even sync. Anyway… time for a new desktop — but I can’t go with Windows or Apple. I will relearn all my graphics stuff and switch from Adobe to Gimp — that’s been something holding me back too — but iTunes — we’ve got to get it working in Ubuntu! I’m ready to donate to your project but I can’t tell if you’re still on it and I can’t see why there aren’t about ten other dedicated dudes on this with you. What’s the update?

This is one reason why I refuse to buy apple products, no matter how slick they are.
