My wife has the same ipod as you, and I use banshee to sync it. It
pretty much just works. What version of banshee are you using? The
more recent versions are more stable and reliable. One nice feature
that banshee has which I dont think the others do is that it
transcodes audio to a format the ipod understands. For example I have
Ogg audio files in my collection, and dragging them to the ipod icon
causes them to be converted to mp3 as they are copied. Keeping the
original Ogg version on my disk.

Cheers,
Al.
