I've tried the first 2 and agree that there's something lacking.  I
think that amarok has the better setup, but the packaged versions
don't support the iPod video stuff, which is a key feature for me.
gtkpod is my "best so far" solution.

As for generic MP3s, I suppose if your player is identifiable in the
hotplug system, you could write a quick script to copy mp3s from your
download directory onto the player when it was plugged in, and even
delete files as desired.
