Ipod with puppy

#1 Post by Guest »

Hey was showing puppy off to a non technical friend (she was very impressed BTW) good job ppl, and she raised a question which i havent seen anywhere else on the forum.

How do u use an ipod with puppy

Just dragging and dropping music doesnt work as you need to update some database file on the ipod.

Has anyone else come accross this or know what can be used to solve this?

Keep up the good work

The iPod requires the use of Apple's iTunes to transfer music. I believe that the people at Crossover Office have been able to get iTunes running on Linux. Since Crossover Office is based on Wine, you may be able to get iTunes working in Puppy. Just be sure to use the Windows version of iTunes and not the Mac version.
