Oh, and as for the ipod, good luck. gtkpod is the standard, but frankly, I hate it. It's really really slow and annoying. Amarok works well, except I can't figure out how to transfer playlists to the ipod. I couldn't figure out how to get rhythmbox to work with my ipod at all. I think the icons are there but the feature isn't yet, or something. I got sick of messing with my ipod and linux so I actually installed itunes on my windoze box. I ended up hating it more than any of the linux media players. Go figure.
