Mabye because there are many Ubuntu-specific forums out there that
often have the answer?  I run Ubuntu (among other flavors), but 99% of
the questions I have are usually answered after a brief Google search.

A quick Google search turned up these possibilities:

http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cant-transfer-playlists-to-ipod-from-amarok-2-693370/

The second link has several embedded links as well to more
information.  I'd be surprised if the answer to your question wasn't
tucked away in one of those links.
