Hmmm. This takes me back to writing gnome-pilot. I see the sense in what
you're proposing ; a generic sync architecture for myth that would allow
frontends to sync from devices into the database. Would it be iPod only
or would it be extendable to synchronise to other devices ?

Anyhoo, this is a bigger (but worthwhile) task than I aiming for or have
the time for these days - for now I'll continue with making something
that works for syncing music from ipod into the mythmusic. Of course,
there's probably going to be quite a set of similarities (like storing
the ipod records uuid and podname for later synchronisation), and I'd be
happy to later work this into anything you come up with.

The tarball I sent you is just for reading the iTunesDB on the iPod, I
don't know how contacts or photos are stored on the thing.
