Dear Fedi friends,
I'm in a bit of a pickle and I could use your brilliant advice.
Long story short, I need to wait an extra 24 hours before attempting to set up Jellyfin on my Raspi (waiting for gear to arrive).
I thought: maybe I could try a low tech / oldie solution first. I have my entire music library super well organized in iTunes (RIP). It's on an old Macbook Pro (2011) connected to an external drive. I can play all the tracks from that computer. I just resurrected my iPhone 6 (capacity: 64GB) to repurpose it as an iPod. My entire music library is 'only" 40GB so the iPhone could hold it all.
Only problem: iTunes on my Macbook Pro does not recognize the iPhone 6. I keep getting error messages when trying to connect to it. I suspect the firmware is too old (on the Mac / too new on the iPhone)... I could not even wipe the iPhone with that old Mac because it couldn't connect to the Apple servers.
The iPhone 6 is completely empty and has iTunes! (Not Apple Music but actual iTunes). It even filled with some tracks I had bought (not sure how).
What would you do in this situation? Are there any workarounds?
My old Macbook Pro is running iOS version 10.8.5 and iTunes is on version 12.0.1.26.
My iPhone 6 (wiped clean and re-associated to my Apple ID) is running software version 12.5.7.
Apple discontinued iTunes support years ago in favor of Apple Music and streaming subscriptions (no wonder, because 💰💰💰💰💰).
I wish I could put my entire music library on my iPhone 6, le sigh. I technically wouldn't even need Jellyfin.
I also have an iPod Touch (1gen) that may connect to my Macbook Pro but its capacity is only 16GB.
What would you do?

#AskFedi #AdviceNeeded #music #BigTech@elena Install Windows in a VM and pass the USB connection to the VM and use iTunes for windows?

@antoine_ali @Timshel thanks but no thanks! I'm a MacOS / Linux person, I'm not willing to cross over to Windows computers (no offense to anyone using them, just not my thing). Plus I already have a small apartment overflowing with electronics and photo / video equipment, I can't possibly justify getting a Windows computer just for iTunes 😅

@MontgomeryGator oooh great workaround! I will add it as a plan B for sure, thank you for the brilliant suggestion! 🙏

@antoine_ali @Timshel oooh maybe my old Macbook Air (circa 2013). I still have it around and used it up to this year as I loved its keyboard and ports. Perfect little machine for writing. Let's see if I can do this there. Thanks for the suggestions!

@joel OMG this looks AMAZING! 🤩
Is it compatible with iTunes or you use another software? I’m pretty big on playlists so I want to use something that enables them

@informapirata @gazzettadelcadavere @aitech macché i sensori in bagno servono per le mense. Se un bambino fa poca pipì devono dargli più acqua. Se ci sta troppo e la fa dura, ecco che capiscono che devono aumentare le fibre. Se ci sta troppo e basta, chiamano l'oculista
