Zak is written in python using the pygtk module. Zak is designed for GNU/Linux, but it is likely possible to get it to work on other systems without too much trouble.
Requires: python, pygtk, gtk+, madplay, and ffmpeg.
Note: This program was inspired by the Windows program "MP3 to iPod Audio Book Converter" available from http://www.freeipodsoftware.com/
OpenSuse 11.1 user can use "1-click" installer -- here
For any other GNU/Linux distro download zak-0.3.tar.gz.

2. cd into the unarchived directory: cd zak-0.3/
3. Use sudo (or root) to run the install: sudo python setup.py install
You should now be able to run zak from the command line

Awesome ... exactly what I was looking for -- and even a one-click install button (I use suse :) ).
Will try it out tonight.
Thanks!
