iTunes replacement for my iPod
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
I would like to know if I must jailbreak my iPod, or does Nightingale, and other programs deliver the same sync for my Apple iPod?
I do not want to struggle with other programs beforehand, just to jailbreak it in anyway later-on.
I have done research, on it. But it seems like I did not find the correct answer to this.
Kind Regards

Is this for an iPod touch or an iPod classic? The classic doesn't need to be modified although I would highly recommend Rockbox OS as it is a brilliant free software media system for the classics.
IPod touch and all ios devices are locked down to the extreme and there is nothing you can do about it. An excellent example of how terrible proprietary software can be.
it is an olllld iPod Classic, it has sentimental value hahah.
I usually just sync it and/or use it as a backup hard-drive for my work.
it looks like that.
Thank you for your quick reply.
Most Libre music players such as Rhythmbox/Amarok usually support these older devices. Here is an older tutorial but it should give you an idea that it works.
Thank you so much, I would also like to know if Corel Draw would work.
Hahahaha, I am sorry, I am new to this.
Sorry for the late reply and for my bad English (I'm Brazilian), but
unfortunately, CorelDraw is nonfree/proprietary software (as in freedom,
not price, that is, it's unfair/unjust because it denies to EVERYONE,
ALL their essential freedoms to use, study and adapt, share AND sell the
original copy, AND share AND sell the adapted/modified copy).
Besides, it uses a a proprietary file format that only Corel is allowed
to fully implement (yes, I'm talking about the CDR file, the CorelDraw
vector project). Other software can implement this proprietary file
format, but they're not obliged to comply with such unfair/unjust
control over society's computing habits. For example, when we take other
proprietary file formats, it's noticeable that most free software
implementations serve as an one-way implementation, that is, you can get
things from that file, but you can't put it back there or, if you can do
so, you mustn't expect a perfect outcome.
If you want a one-way, not-so-reliable, solution, please use the package
inkscape with the python-uniconverter package. Once both are installed,
find Inkscape in the start menu, and use Inkscape's File menu options
like Open and Import to open an existing CDR file, check if everything
is OK, then save it as other file using Inkscape's native format, SVG,
then close the file and open the recently saved SVG file with Inkscape
to check if everything went well.
SVG files are (s)calable (v)ector (g)raphics that, more than just open
standards, are free software file formats, so every single thing inside
this file has a huge documentation that proves what must and mustn't be
there, so there are no secrets, contrary to the CDR file format, for
which the guys from Uniconverter had to GUESS what the contents of the
CDR files were. Besides, SVG files are simple/plain text files in which
some phrases have special meanings.
Also, one can make websites using SVG files directly, and can also make
Presi-style presentations using the Jessyink Inkscape extension or the
Sozi Inkscape extension, all of which, once ready, can be viewed
directly in a web browser that supports SVG files, without needing
anything else besides the web browser itself and Internet connection if
the presentation reads content from the Internet.
To summarize things up, a file format being "standardized", for us,
isn't enough if the guys who made it are the only ones capable of
implementing it (or if they're the only ones who can choose who can
implement it) and if there's no documentation to cover every single bit
of the file format. See for example, the standard that is,
unfortunately, valid: Microsoft's Office Open XML (the so called DOCX,
PPTX and everything-used-by-Microsoft-Office-2007-onwards-ending-with-X).

ADFENO: your English is very good.
The operating system you are referring to here as 'Linux' is in fact the Linux
kernel coupled with the GNU system. It should thus be referred to as GNU/Linux,
GNU+Linux, or simply GNU.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux
Sorry but that is propritary software and we won't help you with installation of a restrictive product of the nature. We won't to give you more freedoms not keep you couped up in the digital jail just for the sake of convienience.
Why not try a libre ulternative like InkScape, this is a truely brilliant application that gets more powerful all the time.
Thank you so much. I will get the InkScape, I just always thought CD was the only program that allows you to import that programs work. I would cry if I needed to redesign all the big companies I freelance for.
Thank you again, to you both.
Forgive my general stupidity on the matter of Trisquel, GNULinux. I have only here where I can ask support and assistance. Everyone I know is WindowsLosers. ):
No way, there's nothing stupid about being new! :)
haha true. but it is extra blah for someone who had the idea that only geeks use this.
Do you think there is a Trisquel GNU/Linuw forum topic like "Trisquel GNU/Linux for first time users, how to install and line comands"? Since I am not a previous Linux Distro user, I needed to pick it all up myself. Not all of us are born into the Code-LIfe. (:
I think that would be a big advantage point toward marketing Trisquel GNU/Linux; because only programmers are known to work with Linux Distros, and I think this is much easier than the other Operating Systems.
Sure, there is a "how to install" F.A.Q topic, but when I looked at that I spaced out completely, as I am sure most of the Non free Operating System users do. Something complicated like that puts a ignorant, interested user off. And, sure there is downloadable "how to" books, but none really explains in detail how to install from a non-free OPerating System, and not everyone downloads "how to for dummies" books, plus there is not one for Trisquel.

I think that is a good idea MeNoMore. Writing a wiki page with the basic terminal commands could help a lot of fresh users.
So you jumped directly from Winshitose to Trisquel? Is that correct? X_x
that is correct!
I was bored and stalking someone on the internet and this popped up. haha. I thought it was interesting so I downloaded and installed it. O.O
I am a translator!
cool! It took me one year of distro-hopping before reading a pdf on fs and deciding to use only fs.
I wish I was as quick as you :)
