As we recently reported, the latest batch of iPods brought with them a few changes that weren’t exactly evident at first glance, not the least of which was the ability to sync with third party apps.
That proved to be especially problematic for iPod-loving Linux users, who had gotten used to apps like gtkpod and Amarok to sync the players with their OS of choice. As expected, however, that blockage now appears to have been cleared by some enterprising Linux users, and the iPod classic (and seemingly other new other new iPods as well) is now back to its Linux-syncing ways.
For the time being, that unfortunately still appears to be a somewhat complicated process, although we’re sure some less time-intensive solutions will be arriving before too long
