Before I buy it, I'd like to know if Amarok 1.4 supports the newest ipod(s).  Also, does it support the iPod Touch & iPhone?  I know there is a 2.02 and higher, I didn't like it so I downgraded, I'm MUCH prefering 1.4, so if you know if THAT version support the new stuff, or if there is a patch for support, I'd like to know, thanks.

Thanks a million for the info.

Alex,

I was able to get the iPod Classic 120gb black working in Amarok 1.4 very easily.  I'm not quite sure if the order I configured it in was correct, but here's the steps I took:

1.) Connected & mounted the iPod--I was very pleased to see it came with a full charge out of the box.
2.) Configured a new iPod in Amarok by pointing to the mount point.
3.) Connected to the iPod, was prompted to initialize the database, chose yes.
4.) Performed a dmesg & searched for the iPod.  You will see a line like:
usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1261
usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-5: Product: iPod
usb 1-5: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
usb 1-5: SerialNumber: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
5.) Open the file /media/ipod/iPod_Control/Device/Sysinfo.  Add the following line (without the quotes, obviously):
FirewireGuid: 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
6.) Your final file should also have a model # (in my case, ModelNumStr: xB565).
7.) Save the file, re-connect your iPod in Amarok.

This got me up & running, dunno if it'll help you!
