Rhythmbox Gets iPod Support

Bhondai writes "The latest release of the popular GNOME based iTunes clone, Rhythmbox has, amongst new features, initial support for the iPod. Things are still a little unpolished at this moment (requiring manual mounting of the iPod to /mnt/ipod), but this does look promising. A list of changes and new features in Rhythmbox 0.7.1 is available at Footnotes."

    Right, computing itself is their hobby, so they want it to be something that is interesting and engaging to do. If Linux were easy like OS X, Linux users wouldn't like it as much. They'd move to BeOS if they had to to maintain the same elitist pattern of time-wasting. A front end for moving my music to my iPod? No thanks, buddy!

    Your life would be a lot easier if you just used MP3 in the first place.

    I remember an incident a few decades ago when a little old black lady sat at the front of the bus when it would be easier to sit with her enthic contemporaries at the back of the bus, as was expected at the time.

    And wouldn't it be easier for Mr R. Stallman to give up his dreams of global software freedom and use Windows?

    Wouldn't it have been easier for Mr L. Torvalds to just forget about writing his own OS and use Windows like everybody else?

    You, good Sir, are part of the mass that made the crap software that is Windows a monopoly because it was easy. Thanks, but no thanks, I'll stick with my Freedom because I'm free to choose the less-easy option and help make it easy.

    you fucking open source apologists. you're all the same. there's no creativity in the open source world - certainly nothing like apple has to offer - and you know it. why pretend otherwise?

    christ, you are so sad.

    you fucking open source apologists. open source UIs are mediocre at best and you know it.

    instead of defending open source by pointing out the failings of proprietary applications--do you know how pathetic that looks to everyone else, by the way?--perhaps you should engage in some introspection and realize, if you're lucky, that you are what you hate, and open source isn't actually the shizznizzle you want to pretend it is.
