Switching from iPhone to Android - Part 3 - Music play back (1)

[malbec]

Now this is something that I hope to be pleasantly surprised about, but expect not to be. Apple have the portable mp3 market pretty much taped in the same way that Sony had with the Walkman and cassettes back in the 80s. My first ever iPod was a MkII and I've had one other since. (Plus a Shuffle for the gym.) I really like the music playback

I just picked up a Google N1 which is an HTC something. I work at rdio.com which doesn't do you much good - hopefully we'll have deals in the UK eventually.

I just plugged my N1 into my linux laptop and Banshee seems to know how to talk to it fairly well.

I expect Linux to fare a lot better than Windoze when it comes to Android syncing. ;-)

I'm going to give Amarok A go this weekend (I keep all my tunes on on my linux server, so it'd probably make more sense to use that to do the music management on my Desire)

(I have signed up for more info about your website. It interests me greatly. (You work for fun companies!!))

I expect Amarok will do fine. Its just USB mass storage after all. After years trying to use iPods on Linux it's such a relief to be using something kind of sane.

Rdio is definitely neat, especially if we can get pretty complete label coverage in important markets. You seem to find pretty interesting jobs too...
