Songbird

Songbird is a media application similar to iTunes. It is available for linux and can be installed on the olpc xo. To do this I downloaded the file Songbird_0.4_linux-i686.tar.gz into the olpc folder. I did this by downloading it from www.songbirdnest.com with firefox, which i also have installed on my xo. Once the file was downloaded I then ran the terminal activity and entered

su, cd ./olpc, tar -xzf Songbird_0.4_linux-i686.tar.gz, cd ./Songbird, ./songbird

There was then a list of error messages but it did open and seemed to be running fine, if slow. I haven't had the chance to test it, but will report the findings once I have. This will include iPod functionality.
