This was actually a mistake on my part, I had never seen Rythmbox work properly with iPods and some other articles I saw indicated that Rythmbox only read from iPods. This turned out to be old data and the issue with my iPod was that I needed to remove all the music and add it back for it to work. My intent was to suggest a way to get iPod support out of the box, but it is now obvious that only MY iPod wasn't working out of the box and others worked. ;-) Sorry for the noise! -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
