Dell Digital Jukebox to Sync With Desktop Linux Machines

PRNewswire: "Lindows announced today the commercial support of the Dell Digital Jukebox (Dell DJ), a portable MP3 music player for desktop Linux. MP3 players are tapping into the expanding Linux desktop market by offering Linux music fans simplicity, portability, flexibility and value for a personalized music experience ... Dell DJ support is available for Linux through the Lsongs music player and offers users an easy way to manage their music portfolio. By engineering the hardware and software to work seamlessly every step of the way, Dell DJ users can easily update their music library's content and playlists."

What's interesting here, of course, is that Lindows now has better support for the best portable audio player on the market than do some of the Windows-based services, including Real and Napster. Most curious. Also, Lindows talked to Apple about getting iPod support, but Apple "wants to keep that a closed system." Typical.
