iTunes isn't compatible with Ubuntu though you could try running it in Wine. I'd recommend giving the Banshee media player a try, which should sync well with your iPod and allow you to purchase music from online stores, though not the iTunes store. Or, you might want to stick with a Windows/OSX dual boot partition for managing your iPod until the situation improves, hopefully with the next release of Ubuntu (9.10, Karmic Koala) when Banshee 1.5/1.6 is perhaps included.

+1 for banshee with media transport protocol enabled ( mtp plugin) which is also an option in rhythmbox....

I thought it was usually possible to find most music free through a search-engine, perhaps google or something?

You can also use rhythmbox to purchase music from the Jamendo and Magnatune stores, or use an online retailer like cdbaby.

Can you help with this problem?
