Either Amarok or Gtkpod will work, they both use libgpod to connect to an iPod.
Gtkpod has been the easiest to use for me, Amarok seems unnecessarily
complicated for just adding songs to an iPod.

One thing, though, only versions of libgpod after 0.60 support recent ipod
incarnations, if Debian Etch is still using versions from a year or so ago,
they won't work.

Rockbox is not recommended, that entails completely replacing the iPod's
software.
