Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I am using a 2GB 2nd generation ipod shuffle (lsusb reports as
"05ac:1301 Apple, Inc. iPod Shuffle 2.Gen") that was recently
initialized with iTunes on Windows.
Steps to reproduce:
1. connect ipod
2. start rhythmbox
3. add a song to ipod
4. right click on ipod (in rhythmbox) and select eject
5. disconnect ipod and try to listen
Expected outcome: new song can now be played on ipod
Actual outcome: song cannot be played on ipod
If started from terminal with rhythmbox --debug, the following output is
given:

(rhythmbox:2000): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not write database to iPod: iTunes
directory not found: '/media/IPOD/iPod_Control/iTunes' (or similar).
It appears that the disk is being unmounted before it tries to write the
database.
A work-around is to quit rhythmbox instead of ejecting the ipod. Then
manually unmount the ipod before disconnecting. (Before unmounting,
make sure you have actually quit and that rhythmbox is not still running
in the tray/panel.)
