I've got my own server but I wanted to give this a try for fun anyway. iTunes seems to have no problem using a library that lives on a local server and syncing it to an iPod. I'm guessing you need a windows computer or mac to run iTunes though, it's been over a decade since I last tried to get it to work on a Linux machine

    And Itunes on windows is just a marvel of shitty design. I hate itunes so much.

    On a mac I dislike it as well, but itunes on windows is just awful.

    In any case, how is the syncing? does it seem slow or fast by todays standards? I cant recall what the connectors were on the ipods back in the day.

    I'm not sure. I was testing out my old iPod so I only put 10 songs on just to see if it worked with the fresh battery and SD card storage I installed. Apparently I cooked the motherboard in such a way that the audio doesn't work. It's a somewhat common problem according to the internet.
