Title:
ipod touch doesn't show tracks after transfer in Rhythmbox
Status in Rhythmbox:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I was made up to hear about the ipod touch/iphone support in Ubuntu 10.04 as
my girlfriend has a 3rd gen iPod Touch and has to use a WinXP VM in Virtualbox
running iTunes in order to get tracks on it, however despite the new support
for the iPod's/iPhone's USB protocol I'm unable to transfer tracks to it using
Rhythmbox .
My desktop is running Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 and at this point is fully up to
date.
Plugging in a 3rd gen iPod Touch works OK, it is automounted, shows up in
Rhythmbox 0.12.8 and the iPod's tracks can be browsed and played from
Rhythbox's interface.
However when transferring tracks to it the tracks transfer to the iPod
sucessfully but the iPod doesn't show the tracks in the library.
Browsing the iPod's filesystem in Nautilus I can see the files in the
/iTunes_Control/Music/F** but their filenames are in a DOS style short
name format (shortened with a "~", possibly due to the iPod's
filesystem) and are different to those transferred using iTunes (e.g.
IZGP.mp3). I've attached a screenshot of Nautilus showing two
directories on the iPod with two of these files.
Looking in the /iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunes Library.itlp directory I
can see that the Library.itdb file (I'm assuming this is the iPod's
database) was updated at the same time as the timestamp on the most
recent mp3 file (the Weedeater track), so I'm assuming that the
database is being updated by Rhythmbox. I've attached a screenshot of
Nautilus showing the iTunes library files and their timestamps.
Therefore is it possible that the iPod's database is being updated
'correctly' but the MP3 file is not being named correctly by
Rhythmbox?
Happy to provide more detail if required.
