This bug is active again in rhythmbox 13.3 . It looks like it was fixed here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508537 by adding: } else if (strcmp (entry_mime, "audio/x-m4a") == 0) { entry_mime = "audio/aac"; to sources/rb-removable-media-source.c I think the code for determining the entry mime has moved to backends/gstreamer/rb-encoder-gst.c and entry_mime is now entry_media_type . I'm no programming expert but I've created a patch which should do what the old one did. ** Patch added: "aac_entry_media_type.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/164265/+attachment/1963216/+files/aac_entry_media_type.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164265 Title: Transferring AAC files to iPod is broken -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
