   I use GNUPOD - a great command line program, none of the dammed drag-n-drop    
   when you know where the files are located. Management isn't the best, no way    
   to delete files (songs) on the iPod. No way to rebuild a playlist unless you    
   want to edit an XML file, but depending on what you need it's great. I use it    
   with cron jobs to download podcasts overnight then pod-load the ipod   
   unattended.   
      
   Then there is YamiPod. Another great if you like drag-n-drop (I detest it).    
   But you can build playlists, delete files (always labeled as 'songs'), shuffle    
   playlists and edit the 'song' info. It's very slow to load - don't pay    
   attention to some of it's messages - like 'no ipod connected', just let it    
   keep loading.
