transfering music to Iphone 4 on ubuntu 10.04

Splinter

Hi All,

just curious to see if guys can help. basically i have an Iphone 4 and a laptop running ubuntu 10.04 but i'm unable to get the music to transfer. i have tried rhythmbox and can drag and drop the music onto the device but when i unmount then it won't show on the phone. I tried Anorak also but damned if i can get it to work.

Am i missing something? I have heard people say it doesn't work. can any of ya help?

cheers

I had the same troubleand just found it easier to SSH files directly and play in Dtunes. Not ideal but quicker than trawling for Ubuntu answers

well it looks like it isn't possible so been forced to put xp on a laptop and use it

I had it working a few months ago, though I'm not doing it at the moment. The device comes up in Rhythmbox, I dragged and dropped files over. The annoying thing was that it would Sync while the files were copying. After it was done, I launched "Music" and it would reindex all the files. Sorry I can't be more specific, since I know it's a bit hit and miss - just try various things and see what works.
