My ipod nano of 3 years finally died:-(
Anyway, although in recent years, I was happier on how the ipod was managed in ubuntu using amarok, I am wondering if anyone can suggest another player that might be more linux friendly that:
a) supports aac (m4a) because my entire collection is in this format
b) can use playlists. I had having to scroll through everything through a player to find the "mood" of music I want.
I had rockbox on my ipod and it was a good thing...
I'd prefer a device that just acts like regular media when it is plugged in.
I was looking at the Creative Xen... and noticed that there is a package in the repos called KZenExplorer, so I am assuming that one needs "software" to read what is on it.
I want at least 4 GB storage.
