Songbird iPod development
Friday, January 5th, 2007I’ve started working on the 64-bit x86 port for the Songbird iPod extension. I used Parallels to run 32 bit Linux on my iMac, but Parallels doesn’t support 64-bit OS’s on the Mac. Thus, I’m running 64-bit Ubuntu on VMWare’s Fusion.
It’s in Beta, and it shows. I couldn’t boot from an iso image on my HD like I did with Parallels. I had to burn a CD first. It’s slow, but otherwise seems to work. I got Songbird running and playing MP3’s. I’m building the iPod extension right now.
I bought a G3 iBook on eBay. I’ll start the Mac PPC port of the iPod extension when it’s delivered.
