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 have tested it with my iPod touch and gen 4 iPod with color. The touch did not mount, and the gen 4 mounted, all songs and playlists are visible, but the songs will not play.
