iTunes on Ubuntu

Spanky McDuck · 09-10-2010, 12:02 PM

Just started using Ubuntu. Looking for a replacement for (or a way to use) iTunes. This is not a deal breaker as I still have Windows 7 installed (dual boot), but if I can get away from it I will. :-)

Thanks in advance for the help and have a great fucking weekend!

Pretty sure the standard media player can connect to iPods and what not. (rhythmbox is it?)

Is there an easy way to move my music library over or is it even worth the trouble? Can I still play purchased songs?

True. I need to make a new cd or two for the wife's car anyway so that'd work out fine.

You can just run itunes in wine.

Im not running it right now but a while back I had itunes working in wine in ubuntu with full audio and ipod support. The only thing I was unable to get working was my apple tv. The apple tv streaming is an option I really need as this is how I watch movies. The story might be different now with later versions.
