    Found this awesome tool, I've been using it to to sync podcasts since the itunes implementation simply does not work. One of the final problems with using iPods in the modern day is the reliance on iTunes, since you're either macOS or Windows bound (and windows has a lot of problems), hopefully this gains traction! Rockbox already exists, but I find that the apple firmware is much more intuitive and simple.

    I figured this might spark some more interest in iPods for the tildes users that try to maximise FOSS usage :]

    It’s a cool project but isn’t as practical as I would’ve hoped. Might revisit later down the line.
