Nope - I like autosync - i have a machine at home that i regularly rip cds onto as i buy, and i like being able to just plug the ipod in and have it up to date. However, I also buy music from the iTunes store on my laptop, and would like -that- to copy to the ipod as well when I connect the iPod. I don't necessarily want sync off of the ipod (at least not on the laptop - but possibly on the central music machine at home, to transfer songs that i've purchased).
I think what I will have to do is write an app to do my own syncing - something that reads the library file on the ipod, and the library file on the "current machine" and copies over to the ipod anything that's on current machine and not on the ipod, updating the library file appropriately and optionally pulling things back. The file formats are simple enough to work with.
