Title:
  Rhythmbox "bricks" my music player (Cowon J3)

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Description:  Ubuntu quantal (development branch)
  Release:      12.10

  rhythmbox:
    Installé : 2.97-1ubuntu4
    Candidat : 2.97-1ubuntu4
   Table de version :
   *** 2.97-1ubuntu4 0

  Whenever I try to transfer tracks to my MP3 player (a Cowon J3) with 
Rhythmbox, my player ends up bricked.
  I configured this MP3 player to use the mass storage protocol (MSC, not MTP).

  1) I connect the MP3 player to the computer : it mounts as usual
  2) I start Rhythmbox, Rhythmbox detects the MP3 player normally
  3) I try to transfer (drag and drop) a few tracks to the MP3 player : 
Rhythmbox shows a porgress bar in the status bar, then stops
  4) Still in Rhythmbox, if I click on "Cowon J3" list item (left pane), it 
shows the tracks on the MP3player
  5) I eject the player : Ubuntu throws me a "write error", the player is 
unmounted.

  6) If itry to reconnect it, nothing can be written again on the disk,
  rhythmbox (even after a restart) doesn't write anything on it after
  drag and drop, nautilus shows write errors. Some files appear with odd
  signs in their names, the file system switches to read only if i try
  to move or delete files, it globally seems corrupt. The MP3 player OS
  refuses to play transfered tracks.

  7) I cannot format the player, disks utility complains (error message
  "the disk stopped responding after initial wipe").

  After that, i have to format (FAT32, MBR) the MP3 player in Precise
  (Ubuntu 12.04) to get it working again. It works perfectly fine in
  Ubuntu 12.04, Rhythmbox or Nautilus transfers work fine, I can move
  and delete  files. So I'm absolutely sure there is nothing wrong with
  this MP3 player. But somehow, Ubuntu 12.10 corrupts its file system
  when i try USB tranfers.

  Could anyone confirm this with another similar device ?
