TunesViewer is a small, easy to use program to access iTunes University media and podcasts for non-{Mac,Windows} operating systems.
- Direct searching, browsing, and downloading.
- Supports itunes-University login, to download students-and-staff-only media.
- Reveals the standard rss-podcast-feed of the itunes-podcasts, for use in any podcast software.
- Includes the option to set itself as default protocol handler, to go directly from the "loading itunes-U..." page to viewing with TunesViewer.
- Automatic podcast updates, auto-downloads and transfers: this program isn't a general-purpose podcast manager, but it can add podcasts to rhythmbox/gpodder/amarok/etc.
- iTunes Store: this will not let you connect to iTunes store accounts or buy anything.
Tunesviewer works well even on older computers, but you must have
pygtk >= 2.16 and lxml available. This shouldn't be a problem for
recent versions of Ubuntu, Fedora etc., as these prerequisites should be
taken care of automatically by package managers.
-
Download the install package: (.deb installer for Ubuntu/Debian based operating systems, .rpm installer for Fedora/Red Hat based operating systems).
-
Open the package and it should install. After installing, you should see TunesViewer on your Applications - Internet menu.
-
Important post-installation setup: Go to TunesViewer preferences (in the Edit menu), and select the download-folder. Choose the folder you want to download to. If you select your rhythmbox/amarok library directory they should automatically add to your library.
The main project of TunesViewer is hosted on SourceForge.net.
