Even better: try rsync.

rsync your entire iPod to a local directory, then create a new _iPod_
repository inside gtkpod and point the mountpoint to your local copy of
the iPod's contents. gtkpod won't know the difference. When you change
something on your iPod, do a speed rsync again -- and vice versa.
