The crash is still there. My solution was to give up on using an iPod on Ubuntu, and since I didn't want to give up on Ubuntu, I bought a cheap Sony MP3 player and wrote a small mtp-sync utility which synchronises my tablet and MP3 player with my gPodder directory hierarchy.
This solved my problem, but this required a knowledge of PHP, C, libmtp and mtp-tools so is not a general user solution. It does seem a shame that between Apple and Ubuntu, we can't get a workable iPod solution for Ubuntu that doesn't crater leaving the iPod internal music directory corrupt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992815 Title: rhythmbox crash when managing podcast ipod after Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS two days ago rhythmbox can no longer manage podcast files on an ipod. Attempting to remove files causes the program to crash. Adding files to the ipod does not show in rhythmbox immediately, but attempting to re-add causes multiple duplicate instances on the ipod. This bug does not seem to affect music files for whatever reason.
