itunes on FreeBSD

[Jerry]

I use itunes  extensively on my Windows
machines to download music. AFAIK, Apple does not make a version for
linux/bsd, although I might be incorrect.

I investigated Rhapsody ;
however, there is no generic version of that available for linux/bsd
either.

Is anyone aware of a similar programs that works on FreeBSD? I am
looking for a full featured program that works along the same lines as
itunes.

I've messed with Amarok and was able to get songs to and from an ipod.
I haven't worked with it too much. It's been a while too. So, my
advice would be dusty (If I have any).

Also, there is gtkpod (I don' t know much about it).

Try looking at these:

Rhythmbox (Gnome; ports category: audio)
http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/

Banshee (uses mono; ports category:  multimedia)
http://banshee-project.org/

Amarok (KDE; ports category: audio)

I am working on a GPL audio application called Ogg Frog:

   http://www.oggfrog.com/free-music-software/

It isn't ready for release yet, but when it is released for sure I will 
support FreeBSD.  I will set up a port for it that hopefully can be 
included with the official ports.


The initial release will be little more than a player, but later 
releases will support CD ripping, encoding, CD burning and integration 
with portable players.


While Ogg Frog itself will be GPL, the audio core will be MIT licensed 
and contributed to the ZooLib C++ cross-platform application framework, 
to eventually become a media framework for ZooLib, which previously 
hasn't had any media support.  Video will come eventually, but not for 
quite a while.
