[TriLUG] iTunes

[Stephen Roller]

iPods can play mp3s.  I highly recommend using banshee
(banshee-project.org).  As long as it's not one of those brand new
nanos/videos, it supports her iPod fully.  If you install the gstreamer
FAAC package, it can rip into M4As, Apple's format.  If you install the
LAME gstreamer package, it'll rip into MP3s.  OGG and FLAC are also
supported.
