Ipod on Linux, iTunes on Linux

iPods are hugely popular, Linux is also hugely popular. Thanks to the great folks at GTKpod and GNUpod we can now use them together.

GNUpod - Using iPods with Linux
GNUpod is a complete set of PERL scripts which allow you to use your iPod on Linux. It’s not user-friendly, but it’s a powerful library upon you (or more likely others) could write great programs for managing an iPod. As of the Feb 27, 2005 release, GNUpod works with the iPod shuffle.

GTKpod - Running iTunes on Linux
GTKpod is a complete iTunes replacement that runs on Linux. It even provides features that iTunes doesn’t, like exporting your songs to your computer. It may not seems big, but many iPod owners want to know how to get songs out of iTunes and export to their computer. Well, this is how to do it. GTKpod doesn’t currently (as of this article) support the iPod shuffle, but it promises to in its next release.
