Gen-6 ipod nano is not an option on Rythmbox

     Yeah, Apple keeps changing the IPOD so they work in Windows or Mac, but it takes a while for Linux to catch up. In searching the Internet for a solution, I'm finding that the 5th generation may now work, which is GREAT for me (if it does) at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103071 - but I don't know that it will work for the 6th generation.
     For a long time, mine has worked to PLAY music from, but it wasn't possible to SYNC the thing at all. I had to go to Windows to put anything on it or re-sync it.

Hi,

I recently acquired an iPod nano 6th generation and this procedure worked for me in Ubuntu 13.10:

1) perform a restore of the ipod nano to factory settings in itunes in Windows
2) set up ipod for first time use in itunes in Windows
3) install spotify-client in Ubuntu 13.10 using these 4 commands:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list'
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --yes --force-yes install spotify-client

4) then run spotify and it should just work fine... You should be able to sync files between Ubuntu and the ipod nano.

Hope this helps,

Mark
