No, nothing exists like this. libgtkpod could be used as the basis for
this, since it basically translates the ipod database structure to the
filesystem and reads and writes playlists as well.

I think the main reason there's not been development on this is that
most people have music on both their BE and their ipod. That's what I
do, anyway. My entire music library is on by BE and then I
periodically put some of it onto my ipod. I'm probably in the minority
on this, but I don't use playlists either.
