HFS+ is readable on linux, but not yet writable to my knowledge. Plus, the rsync trick wouldn't make it as the iPod uses an internal database to know what playlists/tracks are located on its disk.
Of course, this is a proprietary format which is not easy to reverse engineer.

So a special software is needed. Xplay from Mediafour looked unstable. Ephpod, ugly. If only iTunes could exist on my i386 platform, i would be so happy.

Maybe this plugin will do it :)
