Running RockPod 2009 on a Linux system
As I mentioned in the November 2009 issue (or at least I think I did), I ran out of time to get a version of RockPod 2009 out and onto the cover DVD. However, while I am working on a version for the next UserOS operating system, there’s a way you can use it on Linux right now.
And that’s to use WINE. RockPod 2009 works well on WINE but I do recommend you get hold of the latest version (1.1.7 at time of writing) of WINE rather than use the one in the Ubuntu archives (which even for Intrepid is only 1.0.2 if I remember correctly).
You can get WINE from http://www.winehq.org/.

Deadlines have been tighter than a… well, let’s just say they’ve been coming thick and fast so I wasn’t able to get a Linux version of RockPod 2009 up and running in time for the November 2008 issue.

RockPod 08 was one of the most popular tools we developed last year so we’ve taken the opportunity with the release of the new Apple iPhone to add in new reader-requested features and come out with the next version – RockPod 2009.
You’ll find it in the November 2008 issue of PC User, which goes on
