I'm almost done. I've tried to follow a rigorous process to make sure I don't miss anything, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to make a cleanup round to double-check. The iPod is very near to full. In fact, it's so near to full that I had to create a special "smart playlist" just for the iPod and sync only that. The playlist excludes certain genres (like "Holiday", etc.) and certain titles that I just don't feel the need to carry around.

I've also finally got Kung-Tunes working after a bit of a struggle (it publishes the "Recently Played" box to the sidebar under the Music category). It was my fault, of course, that it wasn't working before. It's a very long story but suffice it to say that it was due to a fat-fingered 'chmod' that I'd done as root on my web server. That broke FTP, and prevented Kung-Tunes from doing its magic.

I do have a complaint with Kung-Tunes - it only includes songs that were played while it is running in its list of recently played tunes. I'm not sure this is the best way to approach the creation of the list, since iTunes tracks the 'last played' status of all the songs that it knows about, and that includes tunes that you've played on your iPod, if you have one. I do most of my listening at work on my iPod, so the list you see is not the real story.
