IIRC, there is no real good answer for linux. I think rythmbox has some
capabilities (that can be enabled or configured). You could also jailbreak
it and just scp stuff over (though you might need to hack around with plist
xml files). Itunes on windows is an option (though I'm not sure how to
handle account security or drm issues here). Also, if you go that route,
you're not really going to be able to keep your music synced up. If your
computer can handle it, you might research into running itunes inside of a
windows virtual box session.


fyi, i was wrong - there is a 'real good answer for linux'. i just had
a friend with an iphone plug into a straight ubuntu 10.10 computer
with rythmbox and it asked if i wanted to open it with rythmbox and we
uploaded a song. i think the device had to rebuild the song library
after because it took a minute to load up the player, but nothing was
lost and it was really only a minute or so for 15 gigs of music.
