Darin,

Thanks. I had looked at gtkpod simply as a library to access iPods and other 
Apple devices -it seemed best to use existing libraries rather than try to do 
everything myself. If you (or anyone else) has any suggestions for better 
libraries to access Apple, please let me know. I don't need any of the GUI 
stuff, I just need to write, read and potentially delete tracks from the device 
in question - thanks!

Sorry gPodder didn't work out for you, but I'm glad you got your podcasts 
synchronized!

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

I looked at using gtkpod, as a means for sync'ing podcasts outside
gpodder, but gave up after discovering just how horrible and
unintuitive it's UI was. Had I realize it needed to be setup/working
in order for gpodder to work I might have given it a little effort. In
the end I've ended up using the Banshee music player to sync podcasts,
it's a bit more heavy weight then I'd like but it's doing the job.
