Thanks. I tried banshee first and it has an iTunes library import function.

I just had to copy my iTunes stuff into ~/Music, point banshee at it and whoosh it was in.

I realised I had got used to CD length albums, not ones I had to change every 15-20 minutes.

Any suggestions for Linux?

I am quite happy with iTunes on my Mac but I'd like to copy my music across to a Linux system and play it independently from there (i.e. when my Mac is switched off).

I love iTunes, even so far as much to go when I moved from an iPhone to and Android device I kept using iTunes for syncing smart playlists etc. iTunes is a PITA to configure, but if you set it up right its a fantastic piece of software

Yet another iPod manager - Home

Checkout Yamipod . It has been quite a while since I used it last but it was great when I did.

I feckin' hate iTunes, every time I open it there's a new version which requires an 80mb download yet I never notice the difference.

Alternative to iTunes

Trying to use the highly recommended CopyTrans but it gives the message: 'A monitor program has been found running.....' with no apparent help available for us Windows 7 users.

So, are there any open source alternatives to iTunes?
