Title:
USB mass storage and rhythmbox problems
Status in Rhythmbox:
Expired
Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Using gutsy latest:
My music library is stored as FLAC. I have a Nokia N770 that I
occasionally sync music to. HAL correctly recognizes this device, and
mounts it as USB storage. However, when I drag and drop songs/albums
onto it in rhythmbox, a few problems occur:
1. It transcodes music to the device as directed by the HAL config
file (which tells it to use aac). However, the resulting M4A audio
files are mostly static (you can kinda hear the music once in a
while). If I change the HAL config files to use MP3 and re-burn to
the device, the MP3s play fine. That said, it seems the AAC
transcoder in gutsy is broken.
2. Why isn't there a UI in rhythmbox to set the
format/bitrate/extension used for the transcode? Hacking the HAL
config files isn't very user friendly, and as far as I can tell, it
only allows you to set the mime-type, and not the bitrate, or
extension. Having both these latter two items hardcoded by the
HAL/Banshee code is problematic. For example, the N770 media player
can playback AAC - but it wants the extension to be AAC, not the M4A -
and I think it is always using 128kbit, which is fine for MP3, but
64kbit would be ok for AAC. I'd like to be able to specify both the
extension and bitrate, in addition to the format.
