If you want you can try installing banshee from software center. It is very similar to rhythmbox, but I think it supports the ipod better.

Hi Lauren,

I recently acquired an iPod nano 6th generation and this procedure worked for me in Ubuntu 13.10:

1) perform a restore of the ipod nano to factory settings in itunes in Windows
2) set up ipod for first time use in itunes in Windows
3) install spotify-client in Ubuntu 13.10 using these 4 commands:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list'
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --yes --force-yes install spotify-client

4) then run spotify and it should just work fine... You should be able to sync mp3 files between Ubuntu and the ipod nano.

Hope this helps,

Mark
