[Banshee-List] New 80gig iPod works

[David Donley <david brightcatalyst com>]

Hi All,

I just got an 80 gig iPod from the Apple online store. I plugged it  
into a windows PC to update it and iTunes said it was up-to-date, so I  
think they are loaded with the latest firmware. It mostly works with  
Banshee on Ubuntu, misc hangs aside. I have a few 1000s of tracks in  
the Banshee library right now and am working on getting more in there.  
I am polishing up the Artist/Album names and downloading the cover  
art. I have a script that converts the wma and flac format tracks to  
.mp3s and puts ID3 tags into them.

I'm using the unsigned Ubuntu builds from apebox. Yesterday I had a  
hang while syncing and the database on the iPod seems to be wiped.  
This is no big deal since I don't have any DRM content. I understand  
that Banshee is really new (and really great) software written on what  
for linux is kind of a bleeding-edge dev environment (mono/C#) so I'm  
not really concerned about the hangs, although of course I'd like to  
see Banshee become more stable. Anyway, let me know if there is a way  
for me to help.
