How to organise my music collection on my MP3 player with linux.

I have an iRiver H320. I can add/remove files on it by dragging files in Konqueror from /music to /mnt/h320. What I'm looking for is a program that can manipulate the files on the H320 without having to connect it each time. At any time I can open up this program and examine what files are currently on the H320, and drag/drop files to it. When I next connect the H320, it will compare the files and add/remove them automatically as needed. Does this make sense to anyone? Does such a program exist? Just for the record, my music files are organised differently on the PC and the H320.

For the iPod I've had good luck with Amarok and gtkpod. Amarok appears to maybe, kinda, sorta be able to handle non-iPod portable mp3 players.

FWIW... Amarok is the best mp3 player I've ever used, and I've been of the XMMS/Winampish bent forever.

No, amaraoK only supports the iPod. I like it a lot, but it tends to crash KDE, so I use JuK instead.
