[ubuntu-uk] Software Media Player Recommendations (iPod sync)

[Stephen Garton]

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,

Steve Garton
