Ubuntu – Is it possible yet to synchronise music to an iPhone running iOS 5/6

Is it possible yet to synchronise music to an iPhone running iOS 5/6?

I tried it in the Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) live environment, but I didn't have any luck with Banshee or Rhythmbox.

Is there some way to do it?

Best Answer

Currently there is no linux software (or library) that can successfully read, write and update an iOS device's music library running iOS 5 or higher. All applications (that I know of), are dependent on libgpod for this functionality and libgpod has not worked properly with the current versions of iOS for some years now, ever since the database version (DBVersion) of the iTunes library within the device hit version 5.

Your best bet right now is iTunes via wine.
