Re: [Banshee-List] Importing songs

[Byron Poland <wpoland gmail com>]

Just curious of what people's expriences are with putting songs bought
from ITMS through pymusique or sharpmusique (or the plugin Aaron is
working on) onto an ipod.  I've got a couple dozen songs I purchased
or got through redeeming pepsi caps last year, whenever I put them on
one of my ipods (shuffle, 4g 40gig, and nano) the ipod sees the song,
but when I play it it just skips over it.  I have only ever succeeded
in putting a .m4a downloaded from the above apps on the ipod with
banshee, just not playable once it's there.

ps.  I screwed my account by using itunes 6, but was able to create
and use a new account all through sharpmusique.
