Yes! I have given 2.6.1-1ubuntu1.2 a decent workover and cannot find any regressions. Transcoding is very stable. Tks Ubuntu and Chow Loong Jin - with the USB interface improvements and this Banshee fix I now have full portability for my music collection across any device. This is something I have never been able to do in Linux . A major step forward. Thank you very much :)

Importing music which doesn't need transcoding works, so the problem seems to be with the transcoding process itself and not with the iPod interaction. I am able to transcode the files manually with SoundConverter, though I usually need to start the process two or three times and I still get spurious error messages (typically, the message says the output file cannot be saved, although the output file IS correctly saved and it plays back just fine). This too is new since the upgrade. I do not know if the two problems are related and if they indicate a deeper problem in the GStreamer stack. Please let me know if there is any further testing that I can perform to help assess the problem. Please also let me know if you wish me to report separate bugs against SoundCoverter and/or GStreamer. TEST CASE: 1. Launch Banshee 2. Attach an iPod 3. Attempt to transfer files which are not natively supported on iPods (e.g. flac, ogg) 4. Observe to see if the transcoding and transfer finishes successfully. If the bug is present, Banshee freezes halfway and does not complete the transfer. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Not much. The patch appears to be fairly localized between the BPM detection and transcoding bits, and should fix Banshee freezing while performing BPM detection as well. Aside from the aforementioned two features, nothing else should be affected.
