Given that nobody complained yet, I'll probably commit the patch
mentioned in
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2005-September/msg00173.html soon.

At first, I considered sending a patch for that to libgpod, but given
that there is libipoddevice (in gnome cvs) whose only purpose is to
detect ipods, I'm not sure it's worth it, especially since it avoids
adding dependencies on libgpod.

Offtopic for this mailing list, but artwork writing code is maturing,
work in progress patch can be found at
http://cfergeau.free.fr/hack/libgpod-artworkdb-write-support-v2.diff ,
at the moment, I can write artwork with libgpod, and successfully
extract it back using libgpod, I still have to test it on an actual
iPod, I'd be surprised if it worked as is ;)
