It does a good job of transferring/sync'ing music to and from the iPod. I do not subscribe to podcasts, but I don't think gtkpod has online podcast subscription/sync features. See this link for almost everything you need to know about using iPods with Ubuntu: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103071">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103071</a> The following snippet taken from the above site: <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"> - Podcast Subscribing/Syncing - This feature is possible under Linux, however there is not one app that does it all. In order to subscribe to a podcast, you need a Podcast catcher tool, like iPodder. The iPodder software just keeps track of all your podcast subscriptions and downloads new episodes. <a href="http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://ipodder.sourceforge.net</a> (PROJECT HOMEPAGE). Once you have downloaded your podcasts, all that is left to do is to sync them with gtkpod. *UPDATE* Amarok now supports Podcasts and Podcast syncing. If this is important to you, Amarok is worth checking out. </blockquote> There's also gtkpod's home page: <a href="http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html">http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html</a> HTH, Jimmy
