Whats the most lightweight iPod management program that works? Command line or gui, doesnt matter.

gtkpod is by far the best, imo i tried songbird and banshee with my 5.5g video with no success, btw what ipod do you have, you may run into problems with touches or iphones

Im using the ipod classic,
libgpod, the back end for a lot of these programs including gtkpod, supports the I-Pod Classic.
gtkpod is a very good program that I've used for a long time. It's always worked as expected.

Try gnupod. Its a set of perl scripts for command line ipod managment. There are also some fuse modules that let you mount you ipod in a sane drag-and-drop way right in the filesystem, but those are very young projects.

gtkpod is cumbersome and performs poorly with large collections. It started getting very slugish when id sync to my 60 gig ipod.
EDIT: sadly, though, it probably is among the best tools available.

Well, I know you said lightweight......however......Amarok for a largish collection is the one manager that seems to reliably function for me. It will also transfer movies (as long as they are .mp4. No .mov or photos). I run it (only when necessary) w/ no issues on Openbox.

I agree about amarok. It isn't lightweight, but it is dependable and works well for my 12 GB of m4a music files.

I would recommend Floola, works great with my Nano 4G.

I used gtkpod normally. I also use songbird at work (on WinXP) but it is sooo slow and bloated. If it was a bit lighter I would use it at home too. Last I checked, it kept segfaulting at home anyway...

I have noticed myself that it can take 5 minutes or more to load up my ipod library (I have a 160GB iPod Classic).
Is it the library libgpod that is slow or the program gtkpod with large collections?

hi all,
I just bought the new ipod shuffle 4G, but i'm not able to make amarok working? I cheched and libgpod are already installed! When i do on amarok->settings->configure amarok, i can't see anything referred to the ipod! What should i do?
I just tried gtkpod, but my model is not there and if i select shuffle 3rd generation, it says that he cant find any ipod folder structure.
What to do?
