Morning all,
I used to use amarok for my media player when it was back in the 1.4
series. I liked that I could right click all collection and select
sync to device, and it would. Try as I might, I cannot get amarok 2
to work this simply. In fact, at the moment, any context menus
disappear as soon as you move the mouse (I'll look at filing a bug
later today).
So, what I am after is recommendations as to what media players
other use, primarily as a conduit to syncing to ipods (mine is an
old 30GB Video, nothing new!)
So far I have tried:
Rhythmbox - had to copy and paste files from my collection to the ipod
Banshee - no 'devices' section, and locked up when I tried to exit
Exaile - same as rhythmbox
gtkpod - couldn't work out how to configure
Amarok 2 - device visable, but (when tested previously) could only
manually select 'transfer to device' (rather than sync) from context
menu. Now, context menus won't let me select anything, and interface
fits into gnome even less than before.
If I am doing it wrong with any of the above players, please let me
know! Podcatching ability would be nice, but not essential, as I
also have an iphone which will download them over the air (and
currently is being used for this).
Thanks in advance,

You could try Songbird. I use it to sync my iPod, and I think it has a
stable release now. It also integrated nicely with The Hype Machine
and others, so you can stream and download free (legal?) music.
Thanks
