What I would like to do is buy another, non-Apple music player, and fulfill the following requirements;
1. Run a music program within Linux (Ubuntu / Unity) 2. Download music legally within Linux 3. Load my music player from within the music program 4. Convert the music from iTunes/Apple format and have it available to the Linux music program.
I bought a Sansa Fuse from Accessible Electronics. They sell music players pre-installed with Rockbox (free software music player firmware). I've been very happy with the player. Accessible Electronics markets their devices to visually impaired people who can benefit from Rockbox's "speak the menus" feature. It even survived a trip through our washing machine. Whoops! Ben
