amarok and ipods?

[Dave Germiquet]

Amarok's sweet, i personally like 1.4. You can use it with lyrics, added to
wikipedia and it uses mysql for its database collection.

Its really easy to use... even with rockbox and the only difficulty is
ejecting the device if you wanna disconnect it.

Searching and playlist are pretty cool to yoiu can add podcasts and convert
fairly easily if its setup using the amarok scripts.

Anyway.
