At the moment, there is no iTunes-alike for Linux. There is no all-in-one program that will allow you to do everything that iTunes does. Therefore I attempted to develop a system that a non-technical person to use.

<p>My KDE system on Gentoo does a good job automatically mounting my HFS+ iPod
under my user account (only because I'm in plugdev). Also as an alternative,
Amarok does a great job handling all my library management (including
podcasts) and transfers, regardless of where I choose to mount it. The only
thing I think it doesn't do is the video transfer, which only just got
implemented in libgpod. Then again, I don't know why I'd want to watch video
on such a small screen anyway.</p>
<p>This is a great guide though. I just broke down and replaced my dying iRiver
H10 with an iPod and this was very useful in setting my system up. Thanks!</p>
