|=| This is the month of Linux ports and tools for portable media
players. LinuxDevices mentioned that Linux has been ported to
the Archos Portable MultiMedia Player[2]. A new issue of gnuPod,
a set of tools to use your iPod under Linux and other UNIXes (0.95)[3]
has been released. Alternatively you may use the new version of
gtkpod a platform-independent GUI for Apple's iPod, using GTK2
(0.80-2)[4]. NomadSync (0.2)[5] keeps MP3s on your Creative
Nomad Jukebox synchronised. cpShuffleSature copies music,
pictures, or films onto portable hardware devices (20040728)[6].
A complete survey of Linux applications for portable media
players from different manufacturers is at TuxMobil[7].
Just in case you need to upgrade or repair your portable
player, here are many links to take apart instructions
with pictures or videos[8].
