You could just ignore the apple software and install the open source
player rockbox [1] on the ipod. This will make the music directory
arrangement work in the same way as other mp3 players. Its not as
sparkley as the apple software but you can hack it if you feel inclined.
I've done this successfully with a 4G, the most recent ipods aren't
supported yet.
