By default, iTunes is the only media player that you can use to sync your iPhone and iPod Touch with your computer. However, iTunes is only supported in Mac and Windows, which means Linux users with iPhones will have to find an alternative way to sync their iPhones, or at least get their music into the mobile device.Readmore...

Whited00r gives new life to your old out-dated IPHONES & IPOD touch devices. it gives the IOS 7 features and look to your IPHONE 2G, IPHONE 3G, IPOD TOUCH 1G & 2G devices. you can find the instructions on the official whited00r site http://www.whited00r.com/.
Whited00r is a jailbreak, users of the custom firmware won’t be able to access the official Apple App Store. However, as with most jailbreaks, the firmware includes access to the third-party unofficial Cydia app store.It is also important to note that, as with all jailbreaks, these steps are in no way supported by Apple and may be in violation of certain licensing agreements. It could even void your warranty. Any steps taken here are at the user’s own risk
New features available to legacy iOS devices include multitasking, folders, reminders, video recording, Newsstand, and iCloud access. There is also an optional version of the firmware that will carrier unlock your iPhone.
All-new iOS7 look and feel
Whited00r 7 brings the look and feel of iOS7 to older devices no longer supported by Apple. Our firmware has been engineered to replicate iOS7 down to the smallest detail. Whited00r's first priority is speed. None of the modifications Whited00r makes to your device will slow it down.
Push Notifications
Whited00r includes Amazing iOS7-like Push Notifications on the Lockscreen with blur-effect and banner alerts. Touch on the Notification to open the corresponding application. Whited00r also allows you to enable Push Notifications on an unlocked iPhone with a simple Graphic User Interface in Settings that will automate the whole process.
Multiple Stores for Applications
Whited00r provides access to both the official AppStore and Cydia. Whited00r also offers a unique service called AppTimeMachine. This exclusive service contains many applications that dropped support for older devices.
Multitasking
Multitasking is made possible by simply double tapping the home button to reveal a thumbnail preview of your most recently use applications. For advanced users, the legacy multitasking bar is also included. It keep applications running in the background using system memory. The classic multitasking bar also comes with the iPod Controls and Rotation Lock toggle
Customize features on the fly
With Whited00r, customization is only a few taps away! You can disable unused features like Siri Voice Control or folders to speed up your device. You have full control of System Deamons and you can even unlock advanced features to finely tune your Whited00r installation.
Control Center & Voice Control
Control Center gives you quick access to commonly used settings and apps. To access Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. An alternative to one of the coolest features available to newer devices is now available to for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
New and Improved Camera App
Whited00r includes the new iOS7 style camera app. You can now view your shot in full screen and capture it with the volume buttons. Whited00r supports high quality video capture courtesy of Cycorder's low level access sensor. Videos may also be exported to the camera roll or even shared via MMS, email, or YouTube.
By default, iTunes is the only media player that you can use to sync your iPhone and iPod Touch with your computer. However, iTunes is only supported in Mac and Windows, which means Linux users with iPhones will have to find an alternative way to sync their iPhones, or at least get their music into the mobile device. In addition, there may be a large group of Windows users who are using other media players (such as Winamp) to manage their music library and loathe the idea of migrating the whole library to iTunes just because they bought an iPhone.
In this article, I will point out 6 other ways that you can transfer music to your iPhone without iTunes.
1. Media Monkey (Windows)
MediaMonkey is a heavy-duty, fully-featured media player for Windows. It is just like iTunes in Mac, allowing you to manage your music, video, podcast, rip CD, organize album art etc. In their latest version 4 release, they implemented iPhone/iPod Touch support and you can now transfer/sync your music easily.
In order to use Media Monkey to manage your iPhone music, you have to first install iTunes. That could be ironical since the purpose of it all is to do without iTunes completely. However, iTunes comes with the device driver for iPhone/iPod Touch that is required by many third-party media players to detect and access the database of the iPhone. As soon as you install iTunes, you will be able to use Media Monkey to sync your music.
For those who don’t want to install iTunes, there is a hack:
Download the iTunes.exe file
Rename the .exe to .zip
Open up the zipped file and extract AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi andQuickTime.msi
Install these two files.
You can then sync your iPhone with Media Monkey without iTunes.
2) Winamp and the ml_ipod plugin (Windows)
For those who have been using Winamp since the first day it was launched, there is no need to migrate all your music library to iTunes just because you bought a iPhone. With theml_ipod plugin, you will be able to sync your music.
Firstly, you have to install iTunes , or use the above hack to install the driver without installing iTunes.
Secondly, install Winamp (recommended version 5 and above), follow by ml_ipod (version 3.08 or later). Plug in your iPhone and start Winamp. You should be able to see the device appear on the left side of the panel (see above screenshot).
One good thing about using this combination is, unlike iTunes, this is a bidirectional sync – you can download the songs back to your computer.
3) SharePod (Windows)
If you are looking for a simple and lightweight software to get the synchronization done quickly and easily, then Sharepod would be a good choice.
Sharepod is nothing more than a software for you to sync your iPod and iPhone. While you can play music directly from your iPhone within Sharepod, the music player is only minimal and does not offer much options.
SharePod also offers bidirectional synchronization between your iPhone and computer. Did I also mention that there is no installation required for Sharepod? It just works!
Just like the above two softwares, you’ll need to install iTunes (or perform the hack) for SharePod to recognize your iPhone.
4) CopyTransManager (Windows)
If you are still using firmware 1.x on your iPhone, CopyTrans Manager will work out of the box to sync your iPhone. However, if you are using firmware 2.x, it will prompt you to apply a fix todowngrade the iPhone database so that it can be read by the software. If you are not comfortable with it modifying the internal structure of your iPhone, this software might not be for you.
Editor’s note: Downgrading your iPhone firmware may render your iPhone incapable of using newer applications which require firmwares 2.2 and higher.
Unlike all other software listed above, you don’t need to install iTunes to use CopyTrans Manager. It claims to be the alternative to iTunes. Perhaps in the field of syncing your music library, it can be a good alternative. Other than that, it is clearly lacking in features and does not offer as many features as iTunes.
5) PwnPlayer (any platform)
Pwnplayer is an iPhone music player app that acts as an alternative to the default ipod.app in your iPhone. Its user interface is almost similar to the iPod.app, allowing you to view your songs in Artists, Albums, Songs, Genre list etc. It also supports album art display.
To use Pwnplayer, you have to first jailbreak your iPhone, then install the PwnPlayer application from Cydia. Once you have jailbroken your iPhone, you can then transfer your songs (over SSH) to any folder in your iPhone (for more information about transferring files over to the iPhone, refer to my older article: 6 Ways To Use iPhone As An External Hard Drive). Pwnplayer will scan the whole iPhone hard disk and add the songs to its library. You don’t have to worry about any compatibility with OS platform since it works regardless which OS you are using. As long as you can perform SSH in your computer, you can get Pwnplayer to work.
6) GtkPod (Linux)
Gtkpod seems to be the only solution to sync music to your iPhone in Linux (The older version of Amarok will work too, but Amarok 2.x doesn’t support iPhone syncing yet), but getting it to work is not as easy.
Floola is a freeware application that will effectively manage your iPod’s music, videos, podcasts, and photos. It is a standalone application that can be run directly from your iPod and needs no installation under Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. The current version supports every type of iPod except for the iPhone/iTouch.
Floola supports almost all of the features offered by iPods. It can convert incompatible audio and video files, add YouTube videos to your device, and sync Google Calendars. With Floola you can copy almost any file to your iPod. It is also very easy to uninstall, which makes it worth giving a try.
Songbird is a Mac and PC compatible application that handles all of your digital media management needs. It is an open source media manager that will sync your music, video, and photos to and from iTunes with ease.
Songbird allows you to set up watch folders to keep Songbird in sync as your media changes over time. It also supports hundreds of add-ons that can add features, integrate services, and customize the application.
Amarok is a powerful music player that is supported by Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It has an automated playlist generator, a similar artists and upcoming events applet, and support for the Last.fm database. Amarok is integrated with a lot of web services and features support for all iPods.
EphPod is a full-featured Windows application that connects with Apple’s iPod. It supports standard Winamp playlists and will synchronize an entire music collection with one click. It imports Microsoft Outlook contacts and can download the latest news, weather, e-books, and movie listings to an iPod.
On the download page it is noted that EphPod may not work properly with new iPods, but it is worth investigating.
YamiPod is yet another cross platform iPod manager that is supported on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Like Floola, it is a standalone application which requires no installation. Your iPod is automatically recognized and synced with your computer. It supports multiple iPods and can copy/sync your music, playlists, and song lists.
