They have a free version, at least. It's what I was considering switching to if I couldn't get this working the way I wanted. Paul: I haven't tried RhythmBox yet, but under Amarok I do still need to mount the iPod filesystem first. I have an fstab entry like: <code>UUID=1863-F6C0 /mnt/ipod vfat rw,user 0 0</code> mount the iPod there, and then Amarok automatically recognizes it's there and does its stats and last.fm syncing. You may need to go to the device settings section and make sure the full device description is showing up, but if you're running Gnome, you may be experiencing the same problems I was noting above and that I had to run KDE to fix.
