Rhythmbox can play songs from the iPod, but you can't add or modify songs in the iPod with it. gtkpod, OTOH, lets you add and modify songs (i.e. change tags) on the iPod, but playing is not as nice an in rhythmbox (it calls xmms or some other player, which can suffice). Of note is that in order for gtkpod to handle MP4/AAC files, it has to be compiled with aac support. I use Jon Johansen's SharpMusique to purchase music from the iTunes music store, so they're not DRM'd. The problem with that is that it seems the tags get lost, and the iPod relies entirely on the tags to categorize the song. -Roberto -- God is real, but you can declare it integer. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
