I found this thread while I had the same bug on my iPod. There's not a whole lot of info on this out there, so I figured I'd post the resolution here. Looking in the bugreport thread you linked, the maintainer wanted to see the iTunesDB, indicating he thought it was an actual tag issue.
I went into Amarok, deleted a couple of tracks with a leading apostrophe in the name ('Til Tuesday, note, that's an apostrophe, not a backtick) and now it works fine. Amarok, as you say, always worked perfectly. -- Accessing ipod with ipod-io-slave doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127317 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
