Kubuntu 20.04 - How To Copy MP3 Music To An Old Apple iPod Nano Device?

[JeZ-l-Lee]

Hi,

Running current *ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64Bit on an old Apple MacBook laptop computer.
How would I copy MP3 music to an old Apple iPod Nano device?
I tried plugging in the iPod Nano into my *ubuntu computer and just copying over the MP3's.

MP3's are on the device now, but when searching for the new MP3's on the device they are not shown?
This is for a friend, and we don't know much about Apple devices.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Jesse

You'll have to ignore the mention of Amarok as that is no longer available.

I'll guess Strawberry or Clementine should have this functionality
