None of them work for buying music from iTunes...   Apple is really
dropping the ball on that...

It would make sense for them to make an iTunes distro for linux, so that
people like me (that prefer to buy the music) could still do it from them.

At this time, I still run the iPod from my Windows partition, since I
still buy music from them.  I may, eventually, switch to Amarok (I use it
for music management and playing in Linux, anyhow) for management of the
iPod, but then I will lose the ability to buy from iTunes...
