Fozzieb Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I think this would be a good thing, they can't ignore the linux market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisArr Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Nope. I dislike the software immensely. Now, if someone would be allowed to port foobar to Linux, I would be a happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanctified Veteran Posted April 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2004 there is a linux market? for a freeware app? and in a system that is mostly free? :huh: nit bashing linux, its a great os, btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzieb Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 the linux market would be in the purchasing of songs through the iTunes Shop..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoove Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 For purchasing songs it would be nice. Just for playback Rythmbox will do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzieb Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Can Rythmbox play AAC encoded m4a files? all my music is in the iTunes format but I am trying to switch to linux bit by bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoove Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 No I don't think it can. Though the new version will get iPod support, so maybe in the future it can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 isnt Rythmbox availble for windows aswell? or was that musik? very good clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tran Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Musik is available for Windows. I never had much success getting my iPod to work with Linux... of course if iTunes was avaliable, not saying that it will, then yeah, I'd use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panicswitched Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 most linux users laugh at itunes (though most of them use the clone) linux users wouldnt stand for the 'protected' content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzieb Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 the files are only protected from the store, not your own ripps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Douglas Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 for purchasing it would be interesting (once they get support for Canada) but for playback I have apps like Muine, which kick itunes ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I'd use it! I don't like any of the linux media players at the moment really. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezza Veteran Posted April 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2004 I'd use it! I don't like any of the linux media players at the moment really. :/ Like code_monkey said, muine kicks ass. Give it a go if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 ^^ It looks good! I didn't notice that post before. I'll give it a go when I get some time to reinstall. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 (edited) Can Rythmbox play AAC encoded m4a files? all my music is in the iTunes format but I am trying to switch to linux bit by bit Using the Xine backend I've been able to that since at least version 0.7.0 Muine is pretty interesting, but it doesn't support AAC (or at least didn't when I tried it a week or two ago) :( Edited April 30, 2004 by Danrarbc641 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKer Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 (edited) use Juk. like the iTunes interface without the commercial bs. a great app if u use kde. EDIT:doesn't do encoding mind, but there is a kde app that does, just can't be bothered to look for what it is as I've been down the pub for three hours, so, my girlfriend is more appealing ;), better stop typing now or else I'm in trouble (or will be single in the future if I don't watch it ;) ) Edited April 30, 2004 by UKer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
