fyi, i was wrong - there is a 'real good answer for linux'. i just had a friend with an iphone plug into a straight ubuntu 10.10 computer with rythmbox and it asked if i wanted to open it with rythmbox and we uploaded a song. i think the device had to rebuild the song library after because it took a minute to load up the player, but nothing was lost and it was really only a minute or so for 15 gigs of music. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
