I previously utilized gtkpod to sync. However, I converted my iPod
firmware to Rockbox and have never looked back. Now I can just drop
songs on the storage volume without dealing with that iPod database...

I have been running Hardy since alpha1. I still think gstreamer for
aac is broken. Now I just use faac, when I have to. But I also
converted all my music to OGG/Vorbis and audiobooks to OGG/Speex when
I moved to Rockbox...
