-----Original Message----- From: list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gordon Henderson Sent: 21 December 2011 12:33 To: Devon/Cornwall GNU LUG Subject: [LUG] An iPod for the Linux generation... So wifeys iPod is a bit old now and the battery life is diminishing... Anyone have an idea for a Linux compatable device? She currently uses Banshee to get podcasts into her iPod and most of her music is her own CDs that she's ripped - she did buy a small number of tracks from iTunes though... Not being a music lover, I've really no idea what's good - So what's the current best thing? Ta, Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq I'm using an android phone from Orange, the San Francisco. Before you scoff, you can pick these up new for £80 or under, not sure what a 16gb + mp3/ipod would cost, it can run android 2.2 Froyo or Cyangogen mod. And with a 16gb card from Play for 16 quid I store oodles of music on it. Works great with Banshee over mini usb and of course does a lot of other things too. TBH, my primary use is as a music/video player with occasional calls. I should point out that rooting and installing a custom rom means you can also use it on any network.
