Hey Linux community. I have an ipod and I’m trying to put music on it. Itunes simply will not run and it won’t recognise stuff I put on it through files. Is there any thing I can try/use? Information: Linux type: Linux Mint Cinnamon Ipod type: 1.1.2 PC, Ipod Nano, 7th Gen

    Using a VM is being suggested as it is:

    • Relatively easy to set up.
    • Gives the user a full Windows OS which simplifies software installation.
    • Allows for snapshot backups to be taken of the install meaning if something breaks you just roll back to a previous snapshot.
    • The VM can have the internet disabled meaning no auto updates to the software or OS.
    • Easy to remove the VM and virtualization software at a later date if required.
    • The VM (or another) can be used to run other Windows only software.

      I’m not dissing the VM approach. I’m just saying I’d try WINE first. I already have it i stalled for steam.
