For the last couple of years i've used Rhythmbox to my library, even though i find it lacking in other areas (podcast management is so-so, ripping from cd is inexplicably slow). I use SoundJuicer to rip from my cd collection (all the music on my iPod is from my full-fidelity, uncompressed, 99% paid-for cd collection).
i really like gtkpod for getting stuff on & off the iPod - it's simple and straightforward, and extremely reliable (it's never corrupted the iPod db, unlike iTunes itself), and lets me use th iPod's lovely, highly usable UI. Most importantly, it doesn't bind my device to a specific iTunes library. Ogg support isn't an issue for me, though. my $.02, Joe ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
