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,

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.

muhyb,

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

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,

OK, ping me when you need.

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,

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

muhyb,

No problem! Just helping a fellow penguin. :)

muhyb,

How did it go? Hopefully successful?

muhyb,

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

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