From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

iPod management software for linux? (lemmy.world)

Is there any decent iPod management software for linux available? I have a 6th generation iPod that I use only for music and it's really the last thing that I keep my windows partition around for. The more I use linux, the more unintuitive iTunes feels. I had tried GTKPod in the past and one other, but they didn't support the 6th gen iPods. I'd be happy with just a CLI copy type command!

YouTube Music allows you to upload up to 20,000 tracks to your personal storage for free. And then you can just pre-download anything you want or you have anytime access to just stream your whole library, without the need to preload your device as if it were 2003.

I used to do this! I mostly self-host stuff now, and do have a streaming music server. Streaming doesn't work in many situations - backpacking, airplanes, etc., and it's nice to have music on my device without needing internet.
