The only workaround I know of is to use an application that doesn't rely on gstreamer for the encoding. The "abcde" program that some have mentioned uses the plain faac I think, so it isn't affected by this; I haven't tried it myself. Rhythmbox still tries its transcoding weirdness when iPod syncing even if you rip them with that, though, so you'd have to use Banshee or Exaile for syncing songs to one.
I'm wondering if this will be fixed in the course of the Hardy development cycle. I don't have a system I can run Alpha software on right now, sadly, otherwise I'd start using those releases and making reports on it. -- sound juicer aac formatted files skip and... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
