Rhythmbox and Ipod

[Jason C. Wells]

Is anyone here able to use Rhythmbox to manage their ipods?  I'd like to 
break the dependency on itunes if I can.  I've run the package and 
compiled my own with the ipod option set to no avail.  the ipod is not 
displayed in devices under rhythmbox.  dmesg shows that the device is 
probed.  I am able to mount the ipod using msdosfs.

Perhaps there is some hal, dbus, or other dependency that I am missing.  
How did you get youripod to work with rhythmbox?

Thanks,
Jason
