Hi Thansk for your Introduction, Jonathan. Personally I use Ubuntu (7.04Desktop, and 6.06 on a cranky old IBM T20 Thinkpad). I also have Windows XP for my games and a few cranky peices of hardware that only seem to synch in windows, thankfully after tonights Meeting I can safely scrub "iPods" off of my ToDo list (Thanks Tony, you are a diamond.).
We got the ipod Shuffle 1st Gen and Nano 2nd Gen working last night on ubuntu 6.06 using gtkpod, which seemed to work quite well, however the version that Terry installed on his ubuntu 7.04 / 7.10? was a bit cranky as it has no "synch" button like the 6.06 version had. I have yet to do this on my home PC which is 7.04 ubuntu, I will need to investigate further. (Terry if you make any progress before I do, please let me know how you synched your iPod successfully). Welcome to the list Jonathan and do come down to our PLUG meetings, they are a good social event and you are bound to learn at least one thing each month.
