Wow, I don't get all of this. I use Ubuntu and have an iPod touch, it doesn't sync at all, total brick. But, obviously, I have a windows partition (or, sometimes, virtual machine) which I use to test in IE or play games, etc... So I just use iTunes there. Do people really add music to their libraries every day or something? I sync mine probably once a month, but I can see myself not being upset even if I had to do it once a week. Let's put things like this in perspective, shall we?

- asjo 17y agoMy perspective is: I do not have Windows on any of my computers (yes, that was, of course, my choice.) So your solution doesn't work. My solution is to not upgrade the OS on my generation 1 iPod Touch and use gtkpod. Not very sustainable in the long run, but almost acceptable.
- thenduks 17y agoHey I'm no fan of Windows, but I really don't see what's so wrong with having a 2-3GB virtual machine around on an external hard drive or something so you can sync your iPod. Perhaps if you're that against Windows on some sort of fundamental level then the iPod is not an appropriate product for you? Or maybe it's time to get a Mac mini for a media center or something and it's problem solved from another angle.
- royalpineapple 17y agoyes, many people who enjoy podcasts are forced to sync their iPods as often as daily.
