Hey Linux community. I have an ipod and I'm trying to put music on it. Itunes simply will not run and it won't recognise stuff I put on it through files. Is there any thing I can try/use? Information: Linux type: Linux Mint Cinnamon Ipod type: 1.1.2 PC, Ipod Nano, 7th Gen

Using a VM is being suggested as it is:

  • Relatively easy to set up.
  • Gives the user a full Windows OS which simplifies software installation.
  • Allows for snapshot backups to be taken of the install meaning if something breaks you just roll back to a previous snapshot.
  • The VM can have the internet disabled meaning no auto updates to the software or OS.
  • Easy to remove the VM and virtualization software at a later date if required.
  • The VM (or another) can be used to run other Windows only software.
