I was really disappointed with the way programs were handling mp3 upload to my ipod. You know what i’m talking about, the synchronization shit and the one-computer-upload schema. But some days ago i found this nice tiny app called dopi, this app “Just works”. Dopi is really fast when uploading your music comparing it for example with gtkpod or banshee.

As i didn’t find dopi in the ubuntu repos, i installed it from source, here it’s the installation process:

cd
wget http://www.snorp.net/files/ipod-sharp/ipod-sharp-0.5.16.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ipod-sharp-0.5.16.tar.gz
cd ipod-sharp-0.5.16
sudo aptitude install mono-gac gtk-sharp2 libipoddevice-dev build-essential libxml-parser-perl
./configure
make
sudo make install

cd
wget http://www.snorp.net/files/dopi/dopi-0.3.2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf dopi-0.3.2.tar.gz
cd dopi-0.3.2
./configure
make
sudo make install
Note: i installed some extra apps and libs from ubuntu repos to satisfy the configure, but i’m not sure if those are all the libs and apps needed.

Dopi has been wrote in C# using mono, so maybe you can also make it work under windows.
