Yeap. For now it is only in CVS. I guess we'll put out a new release once
gnupod_modify.pl is done.

I'll think about that. The current format is easy enough to parse but I'll

dunno ... otg sync also translates on-the-go playlists into regular playlists.
i don't know if gnupod_otgsync makes any asumptions about the state of affairs 
so i would go the safe way and call gnupod_search to have it call 
gnupod_otgsync.
