Maybe this sounds sad, but just using a Windows VM with iTunes became
even snappier since spicy (a spice client to connect to KVM VMs)
supports USB redirection though the network and the VM doesn't even
need to run on the computer you are connecting the iDevice to.

Yes, I also stumbled over this. The music was copied to the device but
it just wasted space, since the iTunesDB was not properly written.
