ipod and ubuntu

[jmax]

basically too much trouble to bother wih ... I mucked aobut installing xp in virtual box but oh dear what crapola windows xp is. I
work in a capacity than uses xp in order to communicate with others who can be in danger of their lives. what utter stupidity to
use windows. the company used to have unix ... those were the days. but that's another story.

I like ubuntu I think its a really neat operating system that has some powerful programs on offer ... and for free no less. what
stops me entirely is the ipod ... nasty things. work almost on itunes, very iffy on what they would play I found but it seems to be
the only game in town. anway I purchased an android Nexus 7 for 200 dollars. I installed the android support software and easy
as pi [ 3-1417 .... as to why this is "easy", i;m not quite sure ], nexus 7 is mounted and works wonderfully with ubuntu.

during work, I like to watch a movie or documentary during lunch hour ... relives the tension of working the night shift. so with the
installation of android support software

gotta love it when a plan comes together ... I'm no computer whiz-kid but thankfully it was ezy to get the android nexus 7 to talk
to ubuntu where the ipod is just about impossible.

Ipods work fine on linux. I've owned a 2nd gen shuffle since the day I started using linux and now a 4th gen shuffle. They both work/worked just fine. A little fiddling and tinkering may be needed, but it all comes down to what you want to use to listen to your music.
