    If you can't find a way to sync your iPod with your Linux machine you haven't really been looking!

    I tried some other migration howtos, but none gave enough information to provide a flawless migration.
    I had to google a lot and it took some time.

  7. Been playing with it this week by plastik55 · · Score: 3, Interesting · on iPod on Linux... with GPLed software

    I stopped using gnuPod since it didn't support ordering (i.e., if I added all the songs in an album, they'd show up on the iPod in alphabetical order, rather than the proper order determined by the track numers in the id3 tag. gnuPOD also doesn't do synchronization, and the hoops you have to go through to remove files from the iPod are rather cumbersome.

    SyncPOD seems to work better for me. It has its own limitations and bugaboos, but it knows how to do correct ordering. I threw together a script which select albums from my collection at random to fill 5GB of space and makes symlinks to the selected mp3 files inside SyncPOD's synchronization directory. It works, after a little debugging (be warned that SyncPOD in its present release doesn't escape spaces or any other characters in filenames which might be interpreted by the shell.)

    You need a FAT32 iPod, Linux, Firewire support and Perl5 to run the software. License: GPL V2.

    Form the SyncPOD homepage:

    This script syncs a local directory with your iPod. If the directory is larger than the space on your iPod you can sync this larger directory with a master playlist.

    Features:

    * Syncronisation with a local directory or a master playlist
    * Optional playlists
    * On the fly created playlists
    * Mp3 info from mp3 tags or filenames
