Rhythmbox como alternativa Linux ao iTunes
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Rhythmbox is a reasonable replacement for iTunes if you primarily manage local music libraries, play audio, and subscribe to podcasts. It handles common audio formats, syncs with Android devices, and supports playlists and gapless playback. However, it lacks built-in video support and has limited podcast management compared to iTunes. Users seeking a simple, open-source music hub under GNOME will find it functional, but those relying heavily on video or cloud integration may need supplementary tools.

Abrindo seus arquivos do iTunes
Rhythmbox reads standard audio files (MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC) that iTunes uses, so your music library transfers directly. It does not read proprietary iTunesDB files, but your media files themselves are accessible if copied to Linux. Playlists saved as M3U or XSPF can be imported. Video files like .m4v from iTunes won’t play in Rhythmbox — use a video player like VLC. Metadata (tags) are preserved, but DRM-protected files won’t work.

Can Rhythmbox play my old iTunes music files?
Yes, if they are MP3, AAC, or unprotected AIFF/ALAC. DRM-protected files from old iTunes purchases won't play.
Does Rhythmbox sync playlists to Android the same way iTunes does?
It syncs music and playlists over MTP, but not automatically. You manage what gets transferred manually or with plugins.
Can I import my iTunes playlists into Rhythmbox?
Yes, if exported as M3U or XSPF. Save the playlist in iTunes, copy it to Linux, and import it via Rhythmbox's playlist menu.
