I need a iPod Nano 6G alternative.

[Gala]

I apsolutley love my iPod Nano 6G. Best thing to happen to me. But there is a thing i hate.

I apsolutley hate iTunes as a full time Linux user, and im unable to transfer music to it.

Is there anything like the iPod Nano 6G?

I'm pretty sure you could use a music player such as Rythmbox to transfer music onto your iPod.

Don't think there is anything like it. 

But maybe you could try this: http://banshee.fm/download/

I tried them all, the work on older iPods, the Nano 6G uses some other alogorithm for the library, thus it copies the tracks but the database doesn't get updated on it.

Yeah, that sucks. But you can't do much, just use your phone for music maybe?

Sorry, then I'm out of suggestions.

@Gala this is an annoyance, because within like a year of the iPhone's release there were several decent competitors. Like 15 years after the iPod's release and....not much. SanDisk makes some good music players, but in terms of UI. itunes has been a terrible piece of software for as long as I can remember.

 

The best (and terribly bastardized) solution I can think of is run Windows in a Virtual Machine or dual boot, install iTunes on it and copy music that way.
