<pre wrap="">I've used gtk-pod in the past and it works well - but you need to do
the ripping and encoding yourself (there is ac4 support through a flac
extension from memory - its been a good year since I've use gtk-pod).
The thing to be wary of is that iTunes and gtk-pod aren't exactly
compatible - if you stick a gtk-pod modified ipod (database) back into
iTunes it'll wipe your music on there

In my experience it wipes it anyway, whether gtkpod has been used or
not. It's done it to me twice, once on a gtkpod ipod and once on an
itunes ipod and it drives me nuts.
The first time I thought I must have clicked something without reading
it, but I was careful the second time and specifically clicked 'no' to
'Do you want to link your iPod against this computer' and it wiped it
anyway. Moral: Assume itunes will wipe your ipod next time you plug it
in, and carry a backup of your music with you when you go travelling.
Alternatively, use gtkpod :)
