Is it possible to synchronize music with Apple devices?

Support & Help Requests Hardware
#1

I have a new Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and happy with it.

I came from Apple, and I was able to sinchroinze my iPhone music with iTunes, now there are not an iTunes for Ubuntu and seems than there is no software that recongize my iPhone (or iPod) as a music device.

I have been reading old posts, where I see than few years ago it was possible to synchronize rhythmbox or Banshee … but now I can’t see my iPod in these applications.

Is not possible any more?

Thanks

I found a suggested solution here: https://gist.github.com/samrocketman/70dff6ebb18004fc37dc5e33c259a0fc
but I am not sure if it works.
Besides, I am not a computer man and don’t know how to compile anything!

No, not yet, I think I will use Windows for that
