I actually use my Windows computer with iTunes to manage my iPod instead of using Linux and use Media Monkey (nice program btw) to manage artwork/idtags and use ITDB (iTunes Data Base) to clue iTunes into the changes made by Media Monkey (I'm obsessive but I have a lot of CD's). For some reason that I have never spent any time trying to figure out, iTunes is extremely slow to sync mp3 files but very fast to sync m4a files. I wouldn't have known this except that my daughter gave me a few mp3 files which I was watching when they were syncing and I was shocked at the speed difference. If you 'convert' them to m4a, they will get loaded very fast. I suspect that Apple does some mini-conversion to mp3 files when it puts them on an iPod.
