Ubuntu One Music has now support for iPhone's new AirPlay technology, which allows users to stream audio, video and image files stored in your Ubuntu One account directly to your Applet TV, stereo device, or any other AirPlay-compatible hardware. The AirPlay technology was made available by Apple via the new iOS 4.2 software update.
Canonical, the company behind the popular Ubuntu operating system, created a few months ago the
Ubuntu One Music application for Android and iPhone smartphones. The app can be used to stream your entire music library, stored in your Ubuntu One account to your iPhone or Android device.
Ubuntu One Music will also allow you to listen your favorite music wherever you’re going or wherever you are. Below are some of the highlights of the Ubuntu One Music app for iPhone:
· Streaming over 3G and Wi-Fi connections;
· Allows to listen to any synchronized MP3 file from your personal Ubuntu One account;
· You can browse songs by artist;
· Tap playback screen for album/song shuffle and repeat;
· No ads;
· Support for iOS 4 multitasking and background audio;
· Available only for iOS 4 or higher.
The
AirPlay technology lets users stream music throughout their entire house, wirelessly. It will be fully integrated into AV receivers, stereo systems, or speaker docks, in order for you to enjoy your entire iTunes library anytime, and in any room.
As you all probably already know, iPhone devices are supported in Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) or Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), all thanks to an amazing library called libimobiledevice.
Of course, these days you can do a lot more in Linux with your iPhone, like sharing music, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, or updating, backing up, restoring the iOS operating system, activate your device, access the filesystem, share documents and manage files, use USB Internet tethering, use TCP tunneling, install, uninstall and archive applications, and many more.
