Is there anything like gtkpod that can be used for the RCA Lyra? Something to read/write the the mp3 player - updating the playlist.
I've got an ipod, thanks aptsoft, but my wife has an RCA Lyra mp3 player.

Thanks for the link, but I was actually asking about gnome software that would mimic the function of itunes, just as gktpod mimics itunes in that it provides a client to interface with the mp3 player

And jsut thinking about it, I would try amarok. Sure its a KDE app, but its far superior to all Gnome apps to do that stuff. I like it better than gtkpod for my ipod.

sure, the file system is accessible no problem. transferring songs to the player is no problem. just like with the ipod. you can open a nautilus window & transfer the songs to the ipod but using gtkpod for the ipod is much cleaner. it allows for making playlist.
that's what we're search for in the case of the RCA Lyra, a nice gui program to transfer the songs and write playlist to the device. i could just use nautilus, but that's sorta sloppy.

GTKPod exists because iPods don't act like standard USB devices. It was needed to get the ipods to work at first.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a Gnome program that does the same job for standard MP3 players. Since nautilus works, the community has left it at that. Maybe Banshee will be able do it one day.
In fact, the only thing I know close to what you want is Amarok. It works fine in Gnome.

Sounds good, thanks for your suggestions. I'm close to just giving her (wife) my ipod and I'll take the RCA
