    I’m puzzled as to which “music management software” he is using. amarok has synced with ipods for quite a while now (I don’t have an ipod, but there are plenty of sites on the internet describing how people use amarok to sync with their ipods).

    I will agree hit-and-miss wireless is a problem, there are so many chipsets with bad/no drivers.
