Four Open Source Apps to Make iTunes Better
If you use iTunes to manage your music, then you know it's handy but has a few significant limitations. Fortunately, the open source community has come to the rescue with some great little apps designed to make using and working with iTunes a little easier and less frustrating.
Firefly Media Server - Here's a great little tool for sharing MP3s across your network with any computer running Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X. It has support for dynamic or static playlists and a Web-based administration dashboard for easy access from anywhere. In addition to working with iTunes, Firefly Media Server also integrates with the Roku Soundbridge to play music right through your stereo system.
Songbird Jukebox App Out in New Version, Complements iTunes
The open source jukebox and iTunes competitor Songbird is out in a new version 1.2 for Windows, the Mac and Linux, and it's worth getting, even if you're a dedicated iTunes user. There are several new features, described here. It's now much easier to work with files and folders, and there are many new ways to work with Last.fm, especially when discovering new music.
EFF Takes On Apple Over DMCA Takedown Notice
I can't help, when hearing more of the details about the EFF and OdioWorks joint lawsuit against Apple, thinking that the whole situation is just broken from any angle. The DMCA isn't without issue and the fact that it was applied to an online discussion about reverse engineering possibilities is a disturbing first. Even more backwards is the idea that a company producing wildly popular devices that are unsupported on an operating platform that's attracting an increasing number of tech- and gadget-happy people would not expect (or tolerate to some degree) discussion about reverse engineering.
Let's put the legal issues aside for a moment -- or the idea that any copy protection systems were going to be stripped and copyright laws would be violated left and right. Wouldn't having a device your company produces but will not (or can not) support on some platforms reverse engineered so that it is able to work on (and with) a larger pool of software going to make your device more desirable?
Converting a .flac file into .mp3 format or is there a way I can add them directly to iTunes?
I've just downloaded a whole bunch of .flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files and my iTunes library doesn't allow me to import these files as-is.
Can you recommend an application that will allow me to convert these files into iTunes compatible formats like .mp3. Even better would be if there is a way to add them to iTunes directly in the .flac format so that I can play them without compromising the sound quality...

Iphone & ubuntu 7.1?
Can I sync my iPhone with my Ubuntu PC. I use Amarok to manage my music collection.
Having done some research many of the suggested methods to sync the iPhone require "jailbreaking it" to get access to the file system. I don't want to mod the iPhone in any way.
