Fwiw, creating a playlist corresponding to the device doesn't work really nicely with an ipod (which contains a library and playlists like rhythmbox). Currently, the (read-only) ipod support creates a new source for the ipod files. Fwiw, I've got some code doing rb=>ipod synchronization at cfergeau.free.fr > I need some input as to how this should interact with users.

Should rb eject the > device after syncing? etc. It should be done straight away (with a progress indicator, a dialog at first is probably enough). It would be particulary nice if whatever you do can easily be reused for other mp3 players ;) Christophe _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
