#STORE SONGS ON FLOOLA SOFTWARE#
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with VLC Media Player and it’s great save stream functionality.For many iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users till now iTunes from Apple was the main software with which you could manage all your data on your iOS Devices but if you are a Linux user and are fed up iTunes and want to use something new, then here is a list of alternatives for iTunes which i think will be the best to replace iTunes to manage your device.Īs you can see around that there are numerous Softwares which alternate iTunes to be used in Windows and Mac OS, but always Linux was ignored and after doing some research i could shortlist these 5 alternatives which could be a easy and better alternative for your iOS device in Linux.Īmarok: As you can see that i have placed this first in the list, so you would have guessed that this my first choice of an iTunes alternative for using with Linux.Īmarok comes with the following features: Not to mention the songs he bought in the store but weren’t on his iPod.
Try to explain this to my father: in one afternoon, he had his iPod wiped and legally (!) bought songs rendered unusable.
#STORE SONGS ON FLOOLA PASSWORD#
The password is correct, I get the message that I am authorized, but they won’t play. Even after authorizing, de-authorizing and re-authorizing the computer, I still can’t play or copy the songs.My dad bought these in the Apple Store, so this computer had no authorization to play or copy them. I tried to copy them over the the iPod.I imported the Floola-copied songs into the iTunes library.
#STORE SONGS ON FLOOLA INSTALL#
After a tedious install procedure, the iPod was recognized, but empty. I had the songs copied over, so I decided to go for it. After closing Floola and re-opening iTunes, the iPod could not be recognized any more.I used freeware application Floola to copy the songs to a folder on the desktop manually. I’ll find another way to get the tracks of the iPod. Files are on location A, I want them on position B. Try to explain that to a 46 year old beginner-level computer user. Plain and simple: because there isn’t one. After connecting it, we couldn’t find an option to transfer music back to the library.Being well aware of the awkward design decision to autosync the iPod with an empty iTunes library on the computer (and thus losing all the stuff on his iPod), we had put the iPod in user management mode. After afternoons and afternoons of careful cd-ripping, track selection and album cover searches, my dad collected about 300 tracks on his iPod.After loading it up, the library was empty. Random lockups, reboots and a very unresponsive experience as a whole. Last month, the system he was working on (an old AMD 1800+) started acting weird. I installed iTunes for him, dumbed the options down enough for him to find his way, and he got going. He’s not going to rip cd’s, maintain a music library and – god forbid – transfer the songs succesfully to his iPod. I laughed it away … Mum, he still thinks that Google is equal to the internet. Recently, some ‘new’ applications peeked his interest: he browses the internet for info on cycling tours, spends some time in Google Earth and (although with trial-and-error) uses a 2000′ era word processor.įor his birthday, my mother bought him an iPod. If it wasn’t for my mother and me, he’d still be writing stuff in WordPerfect, run them through our rusty dot matrix printer and then send them by post services. More draconian DRM schemes and patronizing functionality limitations behind the cut Well, I think they’ve lost one customer today, and it’s a kind they need. The problem is, this right is not invoked on already purchased items. Since april, all of the iTunes songs are DRM-free. Ease-of-use and tight coupling with the Apple product line (lifestyle) might be the reason. Why the iTunes store is still florishing, I can only guess.
