Hi all,
I've been working on the iPod support in Conduit for my Google Summer of Code project, and one of the project's goals is to develop an easy-to-use GUI exposing Conduit's features.
This comes along with the "Conduit as a service" idea, in which each application implements support for Conduit internally, and there is no need for a Conduit GUI.
So, for instance, Rhythmbox could include my interface to sync playlists, much the way iTunes does it. Indeed, iTunes is a major inspiration for my work.
Now I'm making some prototype interfaces, and I got two models that I liked. One is based on the iTunes interface [1], and another is just what came to my head [2].

And I really liked the second one, but I think it can also be improved.
