Hi,
I have been using Linux/Unix as a secondary operating system (primary being Windows or Mac) for many years. Recently, I have become very interested in FreeBSD, and have been using it quite extensively in a VM. I am in the process of selling my Macbook to make way for a new Desktop, which I would like to run FreeBSD exclusively.
However, I have one sticking point that is making me think I will have to dual boot the OS with windows. I would like to avoid this if possible. The problem is that I use an Apple iTouch as a music player. I need to be able to sync music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. with some program. After researching this, it appears that this is possible with pretty much any device other than an iTouch/iPhone due to encryption on the device. Is this correct?
What software for FreeBSD can I use to replace iTunes to get this functionality. If it is possible I would love to here how, because this is the only thing preventing me from making a full switch to FreeBSD.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
