That's true for the iPod but some players like the iAudio just use a FAT drive and you can add/remove files from it using raw Nautilus. OK so that doesn't give you the best experience as right now Nautilus insists on putting a trash can on the player, and also Nautilus can't sync two directories together. I started writing an app to do all this but realised it'd be a lot easier to do it manually, I don't load new music *that* often ;)
