kuickPod is a konqueror service menu for gnuPod.

kuickpod adds a service menu entry to konqueor, whenever you right-click on an mp3 file. Chosse "Add to iPod" for simply adding the file(s), or "Add to iPod and umount" for adding the file(s) and afterwards unmount the iPod.

Deleting files from iPod is not supported, yet.

As kuickPod is based on gnuPod, make sure youve this installed, and your iPod is initialized by gnuPod.

The uc-avi plug-in is a Gimp plug-in that loads/saves uncompressed AVI files.

The plug-in loads common uncompressed AVI files into multilayer images. It saves multilayer images to uncompressed AVI. Audio is discarded, only one video stream is supported.

Compressed AVIs may be loaded using mencoder to import.

Exaile project is a media player aiming to be similar to KDEs AmaroK, but for GTK+. It incorporates many of the features from AmaroK (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via the wikipedia, last.fm support, and optional iPod support (assuming you have python-gpod installed).

In addition, it includes a built in shoutcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they dont get scanned into your library), downloading of guitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played tracks on your iPod to last.fm.

libipoddevice is a device-specific layer for the Apple iPod. It provides iPod-specific HAL event notification to applications, and along with objects representing an iPod, which gives the application access to properties and features of an iPod.
libipoddevice also provides a debugging program, ipod to view iPod device properties, listen for iPod HAL events, and safely eject iPods (iPods must be unmounted, then ejected).
In order for libipoddevice to detect an iPod, the iPod must be first mounted, and HAL must detect the mounted iPod volume. Best results come from a setup where gnome-volume-manager detects the presence of an iPod, and calls pmount-hal to mount the iPod. However, libipoddevice also has submount support, and should work with a submount/gnome-volume-manager setup as well.
libipoddevice does not provide any feature-specific iPod support, like reading/writing the iTunes Song Database (iTunesDB). This functionality is met by ipod-sharp, a Mono library that provides bindings to libipoddevice and feature-specific support.
Building libipoddevice
libipoddevice requires HAL 0.5.2 or later, which requires a fairly new D-Bus, hotplug, and udev. Any system running GNOME 2.11/2.12 should meet these requirements however (SuSE 10, Ubuntu Breezy, Foresight Linux, Fedora Core 4). Also required are development packages for glib/gobject.
After obtaining sources from a tarball or CVS, extract/change into the root libipoddevice source directory, and, if from CVS:
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
OR, if from tarball:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
Then,
$ make && sudo make install
configure should automatically detect if you have pmount enabled. However, you can specify custom unmount/eject commands by passing --with-unmount-command="/path/to/unmount %d and --with-eject-command="/path/to/eject %d. Also, %d can be used for a device node, %m for a mount point, and %h for a HAL Volume ID.
If you are using submount, you can pass --enable-submount to configure if it is not automatically detected.
Enhancements:
- src/ipod-device.c (ipod_device_eject_hal): Propagate any errors to parent function, which will be sent to consumer application for display
- (ipod_device_eject): Handle the error_out parameter and propagate as a GError to caller
- src/ipod-device.h: Added ERROR_EJECT
