        Yeah, sadly.  At least, on the Linux side, it's the only way to
        interact with an iTouch or iPhone without hacking your unit and
        using sshfs/wireless to mount your unit, which makes for a *VERY*
        slow (and inconsistent) transfer process.  I can't tell you how
        many times I have gotten part way through an upload and had it
        die...

        Note that this isn't advocacy for iTunes.  I much prefer, say,
        gtkpod for the way I use my iStuff.
