From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Want to manage music on an old school iPod (lemmy.world)

Hey folks,

So, I have an old school iPod I got from someone it’s sweet and I want to put my music on it. Is there a decent app in Linux that will be able to do the sync of music? Or is it able to be just copied to like an external drive?

Well I just want to be able to use headphones. It doesn’t have any wireless connectivity.

In that case, you should absolutely do rockbox. It's FOSS, linux compatible, and supports so many other audio formats beyond just mp3, WAV and Apple's m4a and AIFF. E.g.
