Re: [Banshee-List] File size issue with iPod

[Todd Wilson <twilson csufresno edu>]

Some additional information on my issue:  When I ejected and re-mounted
the iPod shuffle, many of the incorrect files sizes reverted to their
correct amounts.  However, there were still several files -- in fact, a
contiguous group of them in the file list that spanned but did not
exhaust two artists -- that still had their FLAC file sizes.  The iPod
capacity graphic is now at 50%, the difference from the correct 25%
being precisely the over-counting of this block of "artificially large"
files.  However, if I right-click on one of these files in the file list
and look at its properties, its File Size is the correct, smaller
number.  Re-ejecting and re-mounting now doesn't change the file sizes
any further.

Adding more songs to the iPod follows the same pattern:  some get their
correct sizes, some get the inflated FLAC sizes; ejecting and
re-mounting fixes some of the file sizes but not all.  Repeating this
process until it converges with a full iPod, I'm now at 37% of the iPod
capacity.  As before, all of the artificially large files have their
correct sizes reported under right-click -> Properties.
