Not true. You can use something like gtkpod which will easily allow you to manage your iPod.While I wouldn't doubt there's some third-party kludge that would mount the iPod as a flash drive in Linux, since there's no iTunes for Linux you're not likely to get any farther than that.
Quick question: I got a new laptop and I want to move my itunes music over to the new computer. what is the easiest way to do that? Thank you for all your support guys.
