See the Community Help pages for more information on using an iPod with Ubuntu.
Ubuntu supports many other audio players. Most of these work simply by plugging them in to your computer and copying music onto them.
Users of Creative Nomad Jukebox audio players may need to install the gnomad2 package from the “Universe” repository to be able to use their device (see Add Applications).
