I have an old iPod nano and currently use iTunes in Windows to management. However, I'm trying to switch to Ubuntu. So far, iPod management is one major holdup.

Besides being unable to easily manage podcasts, I also don't see a way to create a playlist and put it on my iPod.

I can create a playlist on the computer in Rhythmbox, but I can't drag and drop it onto the iPod.

I can create a playlist on the iPod itself, put I can't drag and drop songs from my library into it. If I right-click the songs, I can add them to playlists on the computer, but not on the iPod.

How can I create a playlist of music in Rhythmbox and sync it to my iPod?
