Default A Perfect Case For NOT Using Linux.

to Linux, sync, tag etc like iTunes does?


The only Apple product I've ever owned is an iPod Shuffle that my boss
gave me one Christmas. I seldom use it but last week I decided to charge
it up and use it for a bike ride. When I plugged it into the USB port on
a SuSE 13.2 box it asked me if I wanted to synchronize it.

When I got it I rapidly found out it didn't appear as a mass storage
device like my other MP3 players, so I had to install iTunes on a
Windows laptop. What a joy that was to use that completely unintuitive
pile of dung.
