rsync, yeah, that's beauty! But I don't think it will work on iPod because of
the way it behaves and ipod database. In fact libgpod is a must!
I might be wrong, of course, but that's a good idea and it should work nicely
on other players like zen nano or similar.

lanzen is right. rsync won't work as the ipod uses a database and not the
file system alone.

One thing I had trouble with (using KDE 4.1 and an iPod Classic) was
album art, but it was a libgpod thing.

After some tinkering I noticed in my Adept that /libgpod3-nogtk/ was
installed (by default I think), when I looked at the description for the
library I noticed:

/This version does not include artwork support/

So I uninstalled it and installed the /libgpod3/ library. All good.

Oh, and after you've transferred your files and clicked Disconnect (in
Amarok), with me it pops up with a window saying it didn't disconnect
properly, but it does. I unhook by iPod and it's fine.
