iPodSlave is a KDE4 software that offers an intuitive approach to editing the contents of your iPod. It simplifies the management of your iPod files through a user-friendly interface.
One of the best things about ipodslave is its intuitive navigation system that lets you browse through your songs via artists, albums, and tracks, just as you would in a traditional music library. This makes it easy to locate the tracks you want, even if you have lots of music stored in a far more complicated format on disk.
When it comes to the functions of ipodslave, it is great for viewing and copying songs on to other media, and viewing the statistics page. However, there are a few issues that need to be ironed out. For example, the compiler output is excessively verbose, and it uses some deprecated QT3 functions that need to be updated.
Another problem that users have reported is that clicking playlists can sometimes cause the software to crash, while adding new files may result in a message stating that ID3 messages are non-existent. The developer plans to change the tagging library used to TagLib to be in line with more of kdemultimedia. Additionally, there have been reports that it doesn't compile under 64-bit architectures, and some synchronisation is done via web pages, which is not a good approach with Dolphin being the new manager.
Overall, ipodslave for KDE4 seems to be a useful tool for managing your iPod, though it does have a few kinks that need to be ironed out. It's worth considering if you like the idea of organising your music library in a more natural way.
