muhyb,

Sure.

First, install Gnome Boxes. Then find a Windows 7 ISO, any will do.

Let me open my PC for the next steps.

muhyb,

OK I’m here.

Click on + to select the ISO from file. It will start the installation process. Install Windows 7 with its steps. 20 GB space and 4 GB RAM would suffice for virtual machine.

muhyb,

You can get yourself a Windows 7 ISO from here. massgrave.dev/windows_7_links.html

muhyb,

Once you installed it, start the VM and plug in your iPod. For VM to see it, on right top there is a … menu, go preferences from there. Switch to Devices & Shares tab. It should see your iPod now, just enable it. Also set a shared directory from below so you can put your music files there before uploading them to your iPod. This is the iTunes version I use: www.filehorse.com/download-itunes-64/35820/

Before forget, use a 64-bit Windows.

muhyb,

Don’t grab the first one. :)

Pick one what language you need and also pick a 64-bit one.

muhyb,

OK, ping me when you need.

muhyb,

No problem! Just helping a fellow penguin. :)

muhyb,

Rhythmbox or GTKpod don’t work with iPod Nano 6 & 7.

muhyb,

Being happy for someone else is also kind, so likewise.

Also helping people who use FOSS has some weird pleasure. :)

muhyb,

How did it go? Hopefully successful?

muhyb,

I have Nano 7 as well and I tried many things over the years. However there isn’t a good solution to this. I have a Windows 7 VM just for my iPod and installed an old iTunes just to put music on it. You can use Gnome Boxes for this job.
