You could begin by specifying a subject in your post. I'm sure many people ignore subjectless posts; I > saw it because of timing, it was right at the top...
Sorry about missing the subject. I have added one now. But this might create a new thread.
I would say its likely that such a device uses some form of cryptography in the "special software", but you could try by installing the software on Windows, copying a file to the device, then copy it back via Linux, and see what you can make of it.
Do you mean to do some sort of reverse engineering on the software and create one myself for Linux?
Windows hating aside, the better option would probably be to return the device - it doesn't come with drivers for your OS, meaning you cannot use it, that's usually grounds for a refund. (Assuming it wasn't clearly stated to you when you purchased that it required Windows).
That is surely an option. But, I have an iPod too, and I found gtkPod for Linux to synch my iPod (sort of iTunes for Linux), apart from that there are plugins for Amarok for such things. I was hoping if there similar open source stuff to help out here. Anyways, thanks for your reply.
