As much as I would LOVE to use a Gnome based application to manage my iPod and Podcasts and music collection all-in-one... none of them seem to be quite up to the task yet. Rhythmbox is nice but doesn't delete files properly from the iPod. Banshee is not bad either, but it doesn't put the Podcast's in the right location on the iPod (under the iPod menu) but instead mixes them in with the music.
So far the only application I have found that does everything correctly is Amarok which is a KDE application but appears to be friendly enough with Gnome. So, until either Rhythmbox or Banshee fixes their bugs I am going to stick with Amarok.
