Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Rhythmbox 1.12.8 and an iPod Nano 5th
Generation. I can't figure out how to sync music and podcasts (in both
directions like iTunes does) between RB and the iPod. Can Rhythmbox
even do it? I think I have all the codecs necessary and Rythmbox has
the Portable Players - iPod plugin installed and enabled.
After much experimenting I figured out I can drag and drop individual
Podcasts from Rb to the iP (but not in the other direction) and songs in
both directions, but the interface is not intuitive at all and I can't
figure out if there's a way to sync up as I normally would with iTunes.
I also can't figure out how to move playlists from one to the other.
After I figured out the limited workarounds noted above I saw similar
workarounds proposed as an 'answer' to Question #97074, but I do not
consider work arounds an adequate answer to my question. Since
Rhythmbox is the default player in Lucid I believe it needs to 'just
work' in order to give the fantastic user experience that Mark
Shuttleworth has made the goal for Ubuntu. If these features are just
missing as it appears, I consider them deficiencies in Rhythmbox and
I'll create bug/wishlist items for them.
