I have an iPod Shuffle (2Gb, don't know which generation...) and running
my computer on Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.1 Rebecca (based on Trusty 14.04).
Used to sync good using Rhythmbox but, don't know why, plugging the iPod
I got the list of the .wav files which are part of iPod's firmware. So,
when doing sync, plugged out, got the message "Please sync music bla
bla". Tried using Banshee, everything looked pretty good but again got
the same message. After trying couple -dozens- of things (did not reach
grooveruner's tip to get read) not working at all, did the following:

1. Run GParted and deleted the sdb (partition where the iPod was mounted).
2. Went to Nemo (Nautilus, Thunar, ..., whatever file manager) and deleted 
every folder but "iPod_Control".
3. In this folder, clicked on "Music" and checked there were only three 
subfoldes: "f00", "f01", "f02": these are the ones which appear after using 
iTunes (Win) to reset iPod to default.
4. Run Banshee and sync normally. It worked 100%.

If someone get's stuck in the same situation and context, here's how I
fixed the problem... for the moment.
