I wish I could be excited about that, but because the iPod and iTunes don't support FLAC I have to maintain duplicate, MP3-encoded copies of all of my FLAC-encoded files, and I don't want the duplicates cluttering up my Rhythmbox library.
So, sticking with iTunes via WinXP in VirtualBox here, sadly.
- IgorPartola 16y agoDon't try to upgrade an iPhone this way though: you will lock it up and will have to restore it via Windows running natively.
- TrevorBramble 16y agoI've successfully upgraded my first-gen iPhone through VirtualBox several times. You just have to babysit it and re-enable the device in the USB list after each time it restarts.
- IgorPartola 16y agoI had an issue with an iPhone 3G upgrading from 3.1.2. to 3.1.3. After iTunes did its thing to put it in a mode where it was ready to accept the new image, Ubuntu refused to see it as a USB device. May have been a fluke, but I'm not trying it that way again.
- branden 16y agoYou'll love this: MP3FS is A read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes audio formats (currently FLAC) to MP3 on the fly when opened and read. This was written to enable me to use my FLAC collection with software and/or hardware which only understands MP3. e.g. gmediaserver to a netgear MP101 mp3 player. http://mp3fs.sourceforge.net/ http://mp3fs.sourceforge.net/ I have a ~/mp3_music directory which provides an exact duplicate of ~/music except for transcoding non-mp3 audio files on read. It's seriously kickass.
- TrevorBramble 16y agoYup, you (and the author) just made my day. Thanks!
