It is. Basically I hate itunes and want something else that I can use to load songs onto my ipod. I couldn't find anything already written, but someone on ##mac pointed me to ligpod.
If no one else has done the work yet, you're going to have to get your hands dirty with C and/or C++. You can try porting to straight MFC, or you can try cheating by using an environment like Cygwin. The first is probably more likely to succeed, while the second is probably easier.
What I'd really like is a program that I can bundle up and distribute to like-minded ipod owners in a small package. So I don't think Cygwin is going to be my best option.
In other words, if someone hasn't already done the work for you, you're going to need to develop a basic understanding of Unix C/C++ development and hardware I/O, basic Windows C/C++ development and hardware I/O and the basics of Python internals.
Sounds like fun. I actually know a non-trivial amount of C and C++ on Unix already, but I almost never have an occasion to use it. The hardware I/O I've never done before though.
